Equality of Educational Opportunity known as “Coleman Report” had obviously spurred a lot of empirical researches on educational policy. From another side, we can say Coleman Report is the momentum of Coleman’s style of the empirical research on the education and the design of educational institutions. This paper reconsiders the value of Coleman Report from the context of his studies on educational policy and examines implications of his unintegrated faces.// In the methodology of empirical analysis, Coleman had two faces. One was a data-driven conservative empirical analyst with simple methods and little theoretical foundations appeared in his real works including Coleman Report. Another was an empirical analyst with mathematical modeling of social behavior appeared in his ideal of the empirical analysis. In the design of educational institutions, though Coleman’s consistent focus is inefficiency of the organizations of public schools, his design of public school reform has inconsistent, mutually unrelated factors――the incentive-based approach and the creation of social capital. These multiple faces of Coleman can be interpreted as the reflection of the problem of researches on educational policy.
