Abstract	The primary purpose of this study is to investigate and identify possible factors that might be operating in the Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DoDDS) system and that seemingly lead to academic superiority when compared to American public schools. Data obtained addressed the perceptions of parents, teachers, and administrators on issues affecting school practices both in the American public school setting and in DoDDS-Germany. This study examined input variables, including the governance matters that influence such outcomes. The format of the report includes (1) a discussion of the national reports and how these have triggered state-level responses in both New Mexico and New York; (2) a brief overview of the governance structures in New York State, New Mexico, and DoDDS-Germany; (3) an analysis of the data obtained on the comparison surveys; (4) a statement of conclusion; and (5) recommendations. The appendix contains a log of DoDDS-Germany activities, four survey instruments, and 14 references. (SI)
