Oakes, Jeannie – Phi Delta Kappan, 1986
Results of the "A Study of Schooling" survey indicate that the practice of tracking in secondary schools makes it difficult for schools to achieve either academic excellence or equality of educational opportunities.

Oakes, Jeannie – Educational Researcher, 1992
Argues that tracking students for instruction is usually neither equitable nor effective.
