Research Question:
The relationship between performance and various student and school characteristics in Bradford and Leicester.
Published: 1
Journal Name or Institutional Affiliation: Environment and Planning
Journal Entry: Vol. 39, pp. 609-629
Year: 2007
Findings:
  • There is a correlation between school ethnic composition and performance in Bradford but not in Leicester.
  • The differences between the two cities are important indicators that no general conclusions should be drawn regarding the posited link between educational outcomes, ethnic background, and school composition.
  • Nevertheless, it is clear that, in certain circumstances, a school’s ethnic composition is significantly associated with students’ test-score outcomes.
