↵Notes: Robust standard errors clustered by school and date in parentheses (*p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01). Coefficients in each column and panel come from a regression of a dummy variable for passing an exam on the variables shown. The sample comprises all students in the New York City public high school system who took Regents Exams during the years 1998–2011. All regressions include controls for daily dew point, precipitation, ozone, and PM2.5.
