Notes: Each column represents a separate regression, controlling for school-by-math-ability-group-by-English-ability-group-by-Korean-ability-group-in-seventh-grade fixed effects. The dependent variables for Columns 1–6 are, respectively, indicators for a student attriting from the sample in Grades 8–12 and the postsecondary period. The percent female teachers is defined as the proportion of females in the subjects of math, English, and Korean, conditional on no missing values for teacher gender. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at school level. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
