School effectiveness refers to the extent to which schools are able to accomplish their pre-determined objectives. School effectiveness transcends beyond students passing final examinations. According to School effectiveness has become an area of major concern for educational research from the sixties onwards in the United States. These studies have tended to focus on secondary school effectiveness till 1980. We aimed at studying a variety of effectiveness criteria. As in some other effectiveness studies, we explicitly studied not only student achievement, but also noncognitive outcomes. The mathematics and the language achievement was measured by means of curriculum relevant multiple choice tests at the start of the secondary school and at the end of the first, the second, the fourth, and the sixth grade. The questionnaire with regard to the noncognitive outcomes was also administered several times during the students' secondary school career.
