"Do Catholic schools really do a better job?"

Read all about it @ http://www.futurity.org/catholic-schools-really-better-job/



"Catholic schools are not necessarily better than public schools, according to a new national study.
Math scores for Catholic school students dropped between kindergarten and eighth grade, while math scores for public school students increased slightly. In addition, Catholic school students saw no significant increase in reading scores or better behavioral outcomes between kindergarten and eighth grade.


“Across many outcomes, both academic and behavioral, we don’t find anything that seems to point to a real benefit of Catholic schools over public schools,” says Todd Elder, associate professor of economics at Michigan State University."
