Title Public schools do as well as private schools / Trevor Cobbold. [ElectronicResource]
Published Save our Schools, 2015
Collation 12 p. [PDF]
Summary Note "Our study shows that the often-presumed better results of private schools are a myth. Public schools are the equal of private schools. Public, Catholic and Independent schools with a similar socio-economic composition have very similar results in nearly all states and the ACT. Medium SES public, Catholic and Independent schools have very similar results in most states and the ACT. For the most part, there are only minor differences that are within the margin of statistical error. Medium SES schools account for 60-70% of schools in all states except the ACT. There is more variation amongst high SES schools. Public schools achieve significantly better results than private schools in the two highest high SES categories in NSW, Victoria and Western Australia while the results are similar in Queensland. These are the only states with schools in all three sectors in these categories. Results are very similar between public, Catholic and Independent schools at the bottom of the high SES category. Little can be made of comparisons of results for low SES schools because there are very few Catholic and Independent schools of this type. It is public schools which largely serve poor communities." - Media release (Save our Schools website).
