“…The reason for the good home environment resulting into better career maturity may be due to parents" positive involvement, getting their children equipped with efficient and effective strategies of acquiring and using knowledge resulting into better study habits and academic performance.

“…actually influence the academic results. The rich literature about school-effectiveness (Creemers, et al, 1989;Scheerens & Bosker, 1997) could help to develop school-level indicators (e.g. specific educational processes) that should be included in future analyses, by extending the present versions of questionnaires administered in national and international testing exercises.…”

We use a statistical (multilevel) approach to study the relationship between Math Scores and individual-level and school-level factors. The sample contains data about 21,336 students sorted into 163 schools. Our results show that students attending schools in Northern Italy outperform their counterparts in the South. Moreover, the between-schools variance is much higher in Southern Italy than in Northern Italy, albeit it is not due to student sorting based on different socio-economic status (SES), as suggested by the traditional literature in this field. Finally, between-schools variance actually masks achievement differentials due to the different economic development of the Regions.

“…''School quality'' refers to ''the degree to which a school scores better than other schools, corrected for student intake characteristics'', and ''equity'' ''to the compensatory power of schools'', for example, regarding gender and ethnicity (Reynolds et al 2014, 205). School improvement research focuses on ''change and problem-solving in educational practice'' (Creemers and Reezigt 1997). School improvement does not occur if the ''school culture'' Á a key concept here Á is not ''favourable'', that is, schools ''must have shared goals and feel responsible for success''.…”

This article develops a conceptual framework for exploring the role and consequences of evaluation at the local level of school governance. It also provides a frame of reference for the articles in this special issue on the role of evaluation in local school governance in Sweden. It consists of key concepts, three models of decentralised governance (state model, local government model and multi-actor model of governance) and four types of evaluation (indicator-based monitoring and evaluation systems; stand-alone evaluations; synthesis studies; and informal, occasional or everyday evaluations). Local school governance refers to governance that occurs in a municipality and in a quasi-market where local school actors govern and influence schooling and education. It includes the efforts of actors and institutions to govern and influence matters such as school policy, education, school climate and school safety. Evaluation is used as a generic term that refers to, for example, evaluation, inspection, quality assurance, ranking and to both stand-alone evaluations and evaluation systems. The article briefly demonstrates how the framework can be applied in an analysis of the role of evaluation at the local level of school governance by providing an example, and discusses the framework's advantages and limitations.
