PISA 2012: What Makes a School "Successful"

OECD Publishing:

Students in 2012 were more likely than their counterparts in 2003 to have attended at least one year of pre-primary education.

While more 15-old students reported to have enrolled in pre-primary education during the period, many of the students who reported that they had not attended pre-primary school are disadvantaged - the students who could benefit most from pre-primary education.

If offered a choice of schools for their child, parents are more likely to consider such criteria as "a safe school environment" and "a school's good reputation" more important than "high academic achievement of students in the school".
