How Do Lutheran Schools Compare to Other Schools in Our Country? This is just a small excerpt from an article in the New York Times that stated:

• The report* separated private schools by type and found that among private school students, those in Lutheran Schools performed best, while those in conservative [non-denominational] Christian schools did worst.
• In eighth-grade reading, children in conservative [non-denominational] Christian schools scored no better than comparable children in public schools. 
• In eighth-grade-math, children in Lutheran Schools scored significantly better than children in public schools, but those in conservative [non-denominational] Christian schools fared worst.
