Efficiency and the Characteristics of School Districts: A Study of 178 School Districts in Kentucky.

Howley, Craig B.

Critiques the notion of school district efficiency and applies 1 definition to the performance of all 178 Kentucky districts. Finds that achievement test performance of inefficient districts exceeded that of efficient districts by .20 standard deviation, and that efficiency was related to smallness but not ruralness.
