Abstract: This study reports findings about fundamental and regular schools, both types being component schools in a large public school system. Comparative data concerning achievement of students, school climate, discipline, student self-concept and parental attitudes were gathered. On achievement variables fundamental school students performed as well or better than students in regular schools. Fundamental schools rated better on learning climate, discipline, and suspensions. The self-concepts of students in both types of schools were about the same. No evidence was uncovered that would warrant a recommendation that the fundamental schools be discontinued in the system.
