In this paper, we use the non-parametric method of DEA to measure the technical efficiency of secondary schools in French-speaking Switzerland. The results show considerable performance differences across schools and cantons. Technical efficiency is on average 85%. However, once account is taken of the socio-economic background of pupils, average efficiency increases to 94%. We also examine the determinants of efficiency using several alternative methods. The findings reveal that socio- economic environment of pupils and the status of the teacher are significantly associated with technical efficiency of schools. The results about teachers' experience and education are inconclusive.
