The purpose of this study was to analyze school-based relative efficiency with the application of diverse input variables and output variables focusing on educational outcomes among general high schools nationwide. DEA and Tobit Analysis were carried out by utilizing EDuData. As a result of analysis, it was indicated that there is considerable difference in school-based efficiency. There is a need of regulating all of input and output variables in order to improve inefficiency of general high schools. However, Seeing value available for improvement by variable, it was indicated to be necessary preferentially for improving ratio of temporary teachers, and scholarship ratio compared to total annual expenditure as input variables, and math subject in scholastic ability test, and ratio of 4-year university entrance as output variables. Also, the influence of school-characteristic variable and policy variable wasn't indicated to be big. The general high school in leveled region was indicated to have higher efficiency than non-levelled region. To increase educational outcomes related to university entrance based on these findings, it was suggested the necessity for establishing and enforcing a positive operating strategy, improving school assessment system and elaborating a model of analyzing relative efficiency of high school in the direction of reflecting educational competency in school as the school dimension and for collecting and offering data related to schools, teachers, and students more systematically as the national dimension.
