Class Rules challenges the popular myth that high schools are the Great Equalizers. In his groundbreaking study, Cookson demonstrates that adolescents undergo different class rites of passage depending on the social-class composition of the high school they attend. Drawing on stories of schools and individual students, the author shows that where a student goes to high school is a major influence on his or her social class trajectory. Class Rules is a penetrating, original examination of the role education plays in blocking upward mobility for many children. It offers a compelling vision of an equitable system of schools based on the full democratic rights of students.
Book Features:
- Provides a fresh, dynamic way of understanding educational inequality and social reproduction.
- Offers a breakthrough social/psychological theory of how adolescents acquire class consciousness.
- Compares the cultures and curricula of five American high schools focusing on the class composition of their students.
This highly readable and original book illuminates why we dont have open class warfare in our society, despite huge inequalities. Peter Cookson shows how schools reproduce classes through institutional practices that forge class-based consciousness. He also suggests how education might be changed.
Caroline Hodges Persell, professor emerita of sociology, New York University
Cookson does a superb job of analyzing the powerful forces in our schools that reinforce the racial, ethnic, and social-class structures our nation hopes to overcome. Breaking out of ones social class was always hard but may now be harder than in previous decades. Cookson reminds us of what high schools can be, the great equalizers, institutions for promoting Americas finest values.
David Berliner, Regents professor emeritus, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University

This interesting, informative, and engaging book reveals how class shapes the educational experiences of students by describing the institutional cultures of five high schools that have contrasting social-class characteristics. Cookson adapts and uses Lightfoots (1983) observational lens of portraiture to describe them. One is an elite boarding school. The others are public schools located in four different types of communities: (1) a wealthy suburb; (2) a middle-class neighborhood; (3) a working-class rural community; (4) and a low-income urban community. Cookson describes how the structure, rites of passage, and class consciousness in each school reproduce social-class inequality.
