Parochial Schools and Student Achievement: Findings for Older Adults

William Sander

Education Economics, 2000, vol. 8, issue 3, 259-268

Abstract: The effects of parochial schooling on high school graduation rates for older adults in the United States is estimated. Particular attention is given to the possible effects of selection bias on the estimates. It is shown that, although there is a positive correlation between parochial school attendance and the probability of graduating from high school, there is no causal effect.
