Private Schools and Public School Achievement

William Sander

Journal of Human Resources, 1999, vol. 34, issue 4, 697-709

Abstract: The effects of private schools on public elementary and secondary school achievement in Illinois are estimated. The percentage of students in private schools in a school district is treated as an endogenous variable in the achievement equation. Catholic religion is used to identify a two-stage model. It is shown that private schools have no direct effect on public school achievement.
