Extract

A public school student is a product of combined influences of the home and his peers, as well as the school. Similarly, the school system within a community represents the combined impact of influence of taxpayers, teachers and administrators. Local elementary and secondary schools cannot operate independently of desires and wishes of residents in the community. This study presents an analysis of linkages between community characteristics and educational service provided by the public school.
