District Variations in Educational Resources and Student Outcomes.

Unnever, James D.; Kerckhoff, Allan C.; Robinson, Timothy J.

Economics of Education Review, v19 n3 p245-59 Jun 2000

Using data from Virginia school districts, this paper concludes that a district's educational-resource level is associated with its socioeconomic characteristics and that interdistrict variations in educational resources are associated with two kinds of student outcomes (attainments and aspiration), but not math and reading test scores.
