Description
The Public School Advantage: Why Public Schools Outperform Private Schools A challenge to the conventional wisdom that private schools are superior to public ones. Research by Christopher A. Lubienski and Sarah Theule Lubienski draws on two large-scale, nationally representative databases to show that public schools outperform private ones in terms of student achievement. The authors argue that any benefits seen in private school performance can be explained by demographics, such as socio-economic status, rather than the quality of education itself.
