AB  - In 1980 the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) commissioned five papers on the data produced by High School and Beyond, a 1980 longitudinal study of 58,728 students in 1,016 high schools. One of these papers, Public and Private Schools, by James Coleman, Thomas Hoffer, and Sally Kilgore, presents new data on private and public schooling. Currently in draft form, the final version of the report is scheduled to be submitted this fall to the National Center for Education Statistics.1 In the interim,the authors' interpretation of the data and their recommendations for policy directions have initiated a highly publicized and controversial national debate.
