Abstract: The study aims to compute the efficiency scores of the public and private elementary schools and to find out the differences in the efficiency scores, in Dera Ghazi Khan Tehsil, a junction of four provinces of Pakistan. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique has been used in this study. The CCR results for the public and private schools have been found as 0.73 and 0.74 while the BCC efficiency scores for the public and private schools are recorded as 0.89 and 0.92. The scores calculated via both the models used for the study have given the same results. Private schools are more efficient than their public counterparts. The study, therefore, upholds the dominant paradigm that private schools are more efficient than public schools.
