Abstract
The finding reported previously in the EAQ that elementary schools conform more to the image of the rational bureaucracy while secondary schools fit that of the anarchy or loosely coupled system is reinforced and extended using a large sample, more reliable measures, and more elaborate analytic techniques. Particular attention is given to explanations for this regularity and to its implications for those seeking to reform secondary schools.Keywords
