Notes: Catholic High Schools and Homework

DePaul University

This article provides evidence on the effect of Catholic high schools on the total hours of homework students do. Estimates are undertaken for White and minority students, adjusting for selectivity bias. It is shown that Catholic high schools have either no effect or a very modest positive effect on hours of homework done by White students. For minority students, Catholic high schools have a relatively large positive effect on the amount of time spent doing homework. It is also shown that one of the ways that Catholic high schools increase minority test scores is through homework. A Catholic school effect on test scores of White students was not found.
