Optimizing the Efficiency of Tennessee Prekindergarten Through Twelfth Grade Public Education: Average Daily Attendance Enrollment
Journal Title: Journal of Empirical Economics - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Previous studies that assess public school district efficiency have been restricted in practical research. Most studies base efficiency on student achievement, which can be convoluted due to the demographics of a public school district. This research utilized student achievement, student value-added gains, as well as graduation rates of individual school districts. Specifically, this study sought to identify the most efficient public school districts in Tennessee to advocate for a collaborative better business practice approach in public education. After identifying the significantly correlated variables the researcher utilized those variables to perform a data envelopment analysis to determine a relative efficiency rating of each school district in Tennessee. Moreover, an efficiency reference set was utilized to determine the most efficient school districts regarding the average daily attendance enrollment in the state of Tennessee.
