Abstract
Public and Private Schools is an important document that increases our knowledge of contemporary American secondary school education. In particular, the document provides new information about private schools, which are attended by 10 percent of U.S. high school students. Given current policy discussions about public support for private education, we should learn as much as possible about these schools. The recent study by James Coleman, Thomas Hoffer, and Sally Kilgore contributes to this objective by providing significant information about the size and geographical distribution of different types of private schools, their curricula, and the demographic characteristics and skills of their students.
