NEW YORK, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Private schools are linked to more positive civic outcomes for students and parents than public schools, according to a peer-reviewed statistical meta-analysis published today in Educational Psychology Review by authors from the University of Buckingham and University of Arkansas. The research, which combines, audits, and analyzes all available empirical studies of the effects of public and private schools on various civic outcomes, found that private schooling is associated with an advantage of 5.5 percent of a standard deviation, or roughly two percentile points, over public schooling in various measures of civic outcomes.

Key Points: 
  • "Since public schools were often established specifically to prepare children for citizenship, one might assume that they're superior to private schools at that function.
  • The study, titled "The Public Purposes of Private Education: a Civic Outcomes Meta‑Analysis," found that religious private schools had a greater effect than secular private schools relative to public schools, equivalent to 7.6 percent of a standard deviation.
  • "Educational pluralism, advanced by effective school choice policies, seems to be a boon, and not a bane, for civic outcomes."
  • For now, a wealth of evidence indicates that private schools do at least as well, and likely better, at forming democratic citizens.
