Source: Authors’ calculations from KPS and Kalamazoo Promise administrative data.
Notes: Authors’ calculations of characteristics of KPS graduates for classes of 2003–2013 (excluding alternative education). Eligibility calculated based on Promise rules. “Before” represents the cohorts 2003–2005; “After” represents cohorts 2006 through 2013. DD represents the difference between eligibles after and before the Promise and ineligibles after and before the Promise. Standard errors robust to heteroskedasticity are in parentheses.
