Measuring Added Value in Schools.

McPherson, Andrew

Education Economics, v1 n1 p43-51 1993

The measurement of the performance of schools is complicated by the need to adjust for differences in input mixes. Schools may have a differential effect on the performance of different types of pupils. Rather than a single performance indicator, a system of indicators is needed. Characteristics of a good indicator system are identified. (KDP)
