Do Private Schools Outperform Public Schools?

Shanker, Albert

American Educator: The Professional Journal of the American Federation of Teachers, v15 n2 p8-15,40-41 Fall 1991

The increasing demand for public aid to private schooling raises the question of whether private schools really outperform public schools. National Assessment of Educational Progress mathematics scores demonstrate that they do not. Other data substantiating this assertion highlight poor outcomes for both public and private education.
