Catholic Schools in Perspective.
Youniss, James; McLellan, Jeffrey A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n2 p105-06,08-13 Oct 1999

They now educate more affluent kids, as critics claim, since demographics have changed. Catholic schools should be part of the national discussion on education and be viewed as complementary to public schools. (MLH)
