  • ↵Notes: Standard errors reported in parentheses; * and ** indicate significance at the 5 percent and 1 percent levels, respectively. Standard errors clustered at the school level. Outcome variable: age-11 (Key Stage 2) national standardized test scores. Each column reports results from an OLS model estimated for schools rated Fail in the years 2006 to 2009. All regressions include full set of student- and school-level controls; see notes to Table 3 for details. Mean standardized score reported in the final row of each panel is from the year before inspection.
