| Abstract | The composite American College Test (ACT) scores of 7,928 Nevada students (University of Nevada Office of Counseling and Testing data for the years 1968, 1970, 1971, and 1972) were used as a measure of district educational quality to investigate the relationships between educational quality and various factors hypothesized to have an effect upon quality. Specifically, the relationships between educational quality and district wealth, teacher training, rural-urban characteristics of school districts, instruction costs per student, and student-teacher ratios were investigated. A statistical model with educational quality as the dependent variable was formulated and estimated by least squares. Major findings were: a significant positive relationship between educational quality and amount of teacher training; differences in the educational quality of rural, urban, and remote school district (rural schools had higher levels of educational quality than either urban or remote school districts); positive relationship between educational quality and the amount of money expended per student on classroom instruction; a negative relationship between educational quality and high student-teacher ratios. It was concluded that ACT scores do not measure all aspects of educational quality. (JC) |
