Firstly, there is little distinct correlation between school reputation and democratic knowledge, attitude and abilities of students. Secondly, there is little distinct correlation between prospective achievement and democratic knowledge and attitude of students, but have a large correlation with the democratic abilities of students ( P <.001). Thirdly, there is a large correlation between teaching and democratic knowledge, attitude and abilities of students ( P <.001).
