They find that the Catholic schools do have an independent effect on achievement, especially in reducing disparities between disadvantaged and privileged students. The Catholic school of today, they show, is informed by a vision, similar to that of John Dewey, of the school as a community committed to democratic education and the common good of all students UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780674029033 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780674029033/original ER -
