  • Notes: Each column represents a separate regression, controlling for seventh grade school-by-subject-by-ability-group fixed effects. The response variables for Columns 1–4 are indicators for being in a high ability group level in Grades 8, 9, 10, and 12, respectively. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at school level. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
