Student Achievement in Public Schools: Do Principals Make a Difference?

Eberts, Randall W.; Stone, Joe A.

Economics of Education Review, v7 n3 p291-99 1988

Based on data from a nationally representative sample of 14,000 elementary school children, this study finds that principal behavior and attributes significantly influence individual student achievement. These results affirm major conclusions of recent case studies and claim that schools make a difference. (Includes 2 tables, 5 notes, and 30 references.) (MLH)
