Abstract: An extensive data set on upstate New York school district inputs and outputs is used to measure the technical efficiency of public school districts and to test whether certain institutional arrangements, including more public and private competition, can enhance various measures of high school outputs. The technique used involves stochastic frontier production functions. Whereas increased public school competition enhances output, the effect of private schools is sensitive to the output measure.
