The Death of the Comprehensive High School?

This groundbreaking volume considers the ultimate fate of the comprehensive high school as we enter the twenty-first century. Contributors consider whether the question of the high school's seeming demise is exaggerated and why it is experiencing the many problems that it does. Essays focus on the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Barry M. Franklin is Professor of Secondary Education and Adjunct Professor of History at Utah State University. Gary McCulloch is the Brian Simon Professor of the History of Education, Institute of Education, University of London.
