Description
This study examines why Catholic schools achieve success with students who are disadvantaged by race, the fact that their parents did not attend college, and by their own previous educational experiences. It argues that this is because the schools are simply doing what they have always done. The effect of Catholic secondary schools on minority students does not occur among students from well-educated families who have been successful in their previous education experiences, but rather among students disadvantaged by race, the fact that their parents did not attend college, and by their own previous educational experiences. As these schools were originally established at the beginning of the twentieth century to socialize the children of the urban poor, their present success with today's urban poor may be due to the fact that these schools are simply doing what they have always done.
