These guys have done extensive studies and they came to the conclusion that there is no outcome difference. 
They go further to imply that bad public schools are much much better than bad private schools. [/quote]

Here's an interview with the authors:

Right, this is the article that led me to believe they didn't study independents.[/quote]

New poster.  I don't have a link handy right now, but there is a whole academic paper that evaluates and critiques the Lubieski approach.  It came out after the Lubieskis started issuing papers in 2004, so I suspect it was from 2005.  It basically said they're using flawed analysis, and suggests ways the assessment should be more rigorous.  IIRC, it re-runs some of the original Lubieski data with a different analytic tool that's more apples-to-apples, and it concludes that the public schools lag private school results from the same SES.  I'll try to find the paper and post a link.

I haven't yet read the recent Lubieski book, so maybe that improves some of their earlier calculations from 2004.  IDK.[/quote]
