Abstract
Do administrators tend to develop working definitions of “normal” rates of deviance for the type of organization they control? School principals’ estimates of the rates of deviance for their schools were found to be remarkably uniform across a nationwide sample of 7,289 public or private schools encompassing various grade levels and socioeconomic mixtures of pupils. Fully 94 percent of the pupils in the sample attend schools where the deviance rate is estimated to be less than 10 percent. Structural and subcultural explanations for uniformity of principals’ perceptions are suggested.
