Why Parents Choose Private Schooling: Implications for Public School Programs and Information Campaigns.

Crawford, John; Freeman, Sharon

ERS Spectrum, v14 n3 p9-16 Sum 1996

A Nebraska district surveyed parents' reasons for sending their children to private or Catholic schools. Reasons could be grouped in categories: concerns and issues (such as religion) that public schools cannot address; and concerns (such as discipline, values, curriculum, and academic rigor) public schools could address by changing their programs or improving communication with the community.
