Social Selection and Stratification Within Schools

Heyns, Barbara

American Journal of Sociology, 79, 6, 1434-1451, May 74

An assessment of 48 urban public high schools to examine the degree to which stratification within schools contributes to the prevalent association between socioeconomic background and educational outcomes of students, concludes that educational outcomes depend more on the criteria of selection than on the process within schools.
