A data envelopment analysis of West Virginia school districts

Abstract: West Virginia schools are consistently below the national average on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Using Data Envelopment Analysis, we estimate the technical efficiency of West Virginia school districts. We find less variation in technical efficiency in West Virginia than in similar studies conducted in other states. This appears to be because of state policy imposing homogeneity of input usage. Due to the limited variation in technical efficiency across districts, we cannot analyze how non-… Show more

“…From a cross-regional/country perspective, Delprato and Antequera (2021) applied a DEA model to evaluate privatepublic schools' efficiency gap at the secondary level in Latin America. Minuci et al (2019) used a DEA analysis to estimate the technical efficiency of West Virginia school districts, whereas Ramzi et al (2016) analyzed the efficiency of primary and secondary education in 24 governorates in Tunisia. See et al (2022) applied the hierarchical DEA model to assess the quality of higher education systems in 50 countries listed in the U21 National Higher Education Systems 2020 ranking.…”

“…Tables 1 and 2 show the different budget programs considered for each service provided by the regional governments, the indicators associated with each program, the unit of measurement of these indicators, and the source from which they were obtained 5 . For the education sector, the following are considered: the % of children, of school age, who attend classes (at the primary and secondary level) and the % of students with a satisfactory level in the reading comprehension and mathematics exams 6 (Minuci et al, 2019;Raposo & Menezes, 2011). In the transport sector, the outputs are % of (Fancello et al, 2014).…”

“…Selain itu, temuan dari (Saifuddin, 2019b) menyatakan bahwa peningkatan mutu pendidikan juga tergantung dari sinergi pemangku kebijakan, kualitas pendidik, serta infrastruktur penunjang pendidikan. Meskipun banyak hal yang berpengaruh terhadap efisiensi pendidikan menengah misalnya sosial ekonomi masyarakat (Minuci et al, 2019) namun pengukuran efisiensi di bidang pendidikan melibatkan hal yang sangat kompleks dan perlu memperhitungkan banyak aspek yang diukur (Kosor, 2013). Lebih jauh (Mandl et al, 2008) menyampaikan bahwa peningkatan efisiensi belanja publik merupakan hal yang krusial dalam menilai kinerja atau efisiensi di bidang pendidikan.…”
