The authors provide an instructional guide to evaluating public
high schools utilizing school effectiveness research and
statistical educational data. The historical background of public
high schools in the United States includes the fundamental purposes
of a public high school education and a discussion of the current
educational trends at the high school level. A comprehensive
synthesis of the effective schools literature is summarized with
recommended categories to consider when assessing the effectiveness
of a school.
The work includes a guide to the identification and effective
use of sources for educational data. An extensive, practical guide
to on-site school assessment includes suggested questions and
observations to make during an assessment process. Three case
studies further demonstrate the assessment process. The reference
work is intended for parents seeking a good high school for their
children, educators (including teacher educators, principals,
teachers, and others wishing to improve their schools), and
citizens who are interested in promoting education's position
within our society.
