An Analysis of Factors that Affect Public and Private School Science Achievement.
Staver, John R.; Walberg, Herbert J.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v23 n2 p97-112 Feb 1986
Data on 30,030 sophomores in the "High School and Beyond" project were analyzed to test the private school superiority hypothesis for science achievement. The supposition that private schools are superior to public schools in producing science achievement is rejected. Other factors related to achievement are noted and discussed. (JN)
