ABSTRACT
Most students in the United States attend relatively large public schools; the focus thus far has been primarily on such schools. This chapter looks at schools that arc atypical in some respect: military academies , a school for the upper classes, public schools in small towns, schools on small military bases, and religiously-oriented schools . The point is to look for schools in which the pattern of status relations among students might be different from those that we have considered so far.
