Abstract	This study presents new findings comparing public and private high schools using top-quality data from the Education Longitudinal Study (ELS), a long-term research project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education. The ELS project tracks individual data on thousands of students, allowing researchers to conduct much better analyses than are possible with school-level data. This study also reviews the large body of previous empirical research on private schools and school choice programs. The ELS data show that students in private schools made better academic gains than students in public schools, even after controlling for race, income, parental education and family composition. (Contains 10 tables and 28 endnotes.) (ERIC).
