California Schools [RAND] (2005) Report from RAND, 258 pages. Excerpt: "This report describes California’s K-12 public schools — specifically, their student population, the resources they are provided (finances, teachers, facilities), and their outcomes. It describes both student academic achievement and outcomes that schools may influence and that are inadequately captured in test scores. The report analyzes trends within the state and compares California to other states and to the nation as a whole. " |
