The comparison was done on a regional and on a national basis. The two instruments used to gather data in this study, a structured parent questionnaire and a structured student questionnaire, were identical to the ones used in the Kraushaar Study. These questionnaires contained questions covering a wide variety of topics related to Catholic education. The student population for the study consisted of all 11th graders in Carmelite schools throughout the country. The parents of these students constituted the parent population.
