Recasting public and private education in postindustrial America -- Are private and public schools organized differently? -- Student achievement and client orientation in public and private schools -- The organization of schooling in public and private schools -- How different are public schools from private?
Summary: [Authors conclude] that there's very little difference between public schools and their nearby private counterparts.
