Levacic, Rosalind; Woods, Philip A.

British Educational Research Journal, v28 n2 p207-26 Apr 2002

Uses existing data to investigate differences in the rate that schools improved General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examination results from 1991-98. Finds two variables impacted examination improvement: (1) low concentration of social disadvantage relative to other local schools; and (2) starting from a low base level of GCSE results. (BT)
