This project studies the transitions between public and private schools in France. It uses panel data from the DEPP: 1997 panel for elementary school students and 1995 panel for secondary school students. The study has three components:

• A description of private and public schools features and of their students’ characteristics;
• A description of the students’ career (repetition of a year, residential mobility…);
• An analysis of the gap in the students’ results in first grade, third grade, sixth grade and ninth grade, taking into account the academic results they had obtained previously.
