Matchmaking: The Dynamics of High School Tracking Decisions.
Oakes, Jeannie; Guiton, Gretchen
American Educational Research Journal, v32 n1 p3-33 Spr 1995
Findings are presented from a two-year examination of educational tracking decisions at three comprehensive urban high schools. It is suggested that high school tracking decisions result from the synergy of differentiated, hierarchical curriculum structure; school cultures committed alternately to common schooling and accommodating differences; and political actions.
