The number of minority students, many of them not Catholic, who have enrolled in Catholic secondary schools is substantial. Since it is reasonable to assume that the cost of tuition in such schools is considerable for a minority family, the phenomenon suggests that parents in these families believe that their children will obtain a better education in Catholic secondary schools. The problem of measuring the effect of Catholic secondary schools on minority students is difficult because it is a complex and intricate task to separate family background and student motivation as influences on academic performance from the school's contribution. Here, Andrew M. Greeley makes the case that the burden of proof rests on those who contend that family and student motivation are more important than the character of the school. Using a complex analytic technique that includes sophisticated mathematical models, Greeley demonstrates that the preponderance of evidence tilts in favor of the school. There appears to be an authentic Catholic school effect, attributable to religious order ownership of some schools, more regular discipline in the schools, and especially to a higher quality of teaching in such schools. The effect of Catholic secondary schools on minority students does not occur among students from well-educated families who have been successful in their previous education experiences, but rather among students disadvantaged by race, the fact that their parents did not attend college, and by their own previous educational experiences. As these schools were originally established at the beginning of the twentieth century to socialize the children of the urban poor, their present success with today's urban poor may be due to the fact that these schools are simply doing what they have always done. In a preface written for this new, paperback edition of Catholic High Schools and Minority Students, Greeley confirms the continued success of Catholic schools based on

The authors examine a broad range of Catholic high schools to determine whether or not students are better educated in these schools than they are in public schools. They find that the Catholic schools do have an independent effect on achievement, especially in reducing disparities between disadvantaged and privileged students. The Catholic school of today, they show, is informed by a vision, similar to that of John Dewey, of the school as a community committed to democratic education and the common good of all students.

In When Work Disappears, Harvard sociologist William Julius Wilson (1996) notes that African Americans in Chicago who attended Catholic schools are viewed more favorably by employers than African Americans who attended public schools. Such findings corroborate a widely though not univer sally-held view that Catholic schools succeed in boosting mobility for children of less-privileged families. Can its success bebroadened? Nobel-prize winning economist Robert Fogel (2000) drawing upon the research by Wilson and oth ers suggests that Catholic schools might play a larger role in promoting an egalitarian society, if grants were made available to poor students that could be used in the parochial school sector. Nobel-prize winning economists Milton Friedman (1962) and Gary Becker (1989) also make strong cases for education vouchers and for more competition in primary and secondary education in the United States. From a different perspective, Archbishop of Chicago Francis Cardinal George argues that Catholic "education that is faith-based, that pro vides values and discipline, that is Jesus-centered, has the potential to trans form the world" (Archdiocese of Chicago, 2000b). Despite such opinions, there is controversy concerning the measured effects of Catholic schooling on educational attainment, academic achieve ment, and other tangible outcomes.

This overview examines the major research studies on Catholic schools published between 1965 and 1991 along with a synthesis of the research regarding the demography, outcomes, and environment of Catholic schools, and of the teachers, parents, and students associated with Catholic schools. The research showed that student from Catholic schools scored higher on virtually all outcome measures than did students from public schools, even when relevant demographic characteristics of the students were controlled. This document is organized into nine chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction. Chapter 2 is a critical review of the major studies on Catholic schools. Chapter 3 describes the demography of Catholic schools. Chapter 4 presents a review of the research concerning three types of Catholic school outcomes: academics, religious, and values. Chapter 5 looks at the research on the environment of Catholic schools in five themes: the school as community; differences in the cultures of Catholic schools and public schools; the academic climate of Catholic schools; discipline and order; and the development of the faith community. Chapter 6 examines the research on Catholic school teachers. Chapter 7 describes the research on parental choice of Catholic schools. Chapter 8 presents the research on two themes concerning students: minority students in Catholic schools, and the comparison of single-sex with co-educational Catholic high schools. Finally, Chapter 9 summarizes the important findings from the research on Catholic schools; addresses the question of the relative effectiveness of Catholic and public schools; and identifies some directions for future research, including attention to methodology, the establishment of research priorities, and the continuing examination of important topics relating to Catholic schools. A lengthy list of references is included. (DB)

This report constructs a profile of the 225,000 eighth graders attending Catholic schools in the United States in 1988 and compares them to eighth graders attending public schools. The analysis focused on themes of excellence and equity. Study data were taken from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988. The study design incorporated a clustered, stratified national probability sample of approximately 1,000 schools (approximately 800 public schools and 200 private schools), with an average of 25 students in each school participating. Following an introduction, chapter 1, "Catholic Schools and Their Eighth Grade Students," provides an overview of Catholic schools with eighth grades; compares them to public schools, with particular attention to urban areas; and notes that with respect to achievement, urban Catholic students clearly outperform their public school counterparts. Chapter 2, "Experiences of Eighth Graders in Catholic Schools," focuses on subjects that students take, extracurricular activities, perceptions of teachers, and parent participation. Chapter 3, "Academic Performance of Eighth Graders in Catholic Schools," reports reading and mathematics test scores by behaviorally anchored proficiency scores, and reports history/social studies and science test scores by quartile. Included are 10 tables, 7 graphs, an appendix of methodological and technical notes, and 27 references. (JB)

Knowledge of Catholic educational scholarship and research has been largely confined to specific national settings. Now is the time to bring together this scholarship. This is the first international handbook on Catholic educational scholarship and research. The unifying theme of the Handbook is ‘Catholic Education: challenges and responses’ in a number of international settings. In addition to analyzing the largest faith-based educational system worldwide, the book also critically examines contemporary issues such as church-state relations and the impact of secularization and globalization.

School Choice: The Findings is the most comprehensive and up-to-date survey available, summarizing the research on charter schools, vouchers, and public versus private school effectiveness, from one of the country's most distinguished education scholars. The focus is on rigorous studies' those using randomized control groups (as in medical research), those that monitor achievement changes over time, and those based on large numbers of students.
