  • 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. Dependent variables are indicators for the choice of the math–science track in 11th grade, taking at least one advanced math course required for admission to a STEM postsecondary degree program, self-reporting the desire to seek a STEM postsecondary degree conditional on having decided on a major, attending a STEM-oriented high school, and having no postsecondary plans. We present the results for testing multiple hypotheses on the effects of female-student-by-female-math-teacher in Grade 7. We calculate family-wise adjusted p-values based on 1,000 bootstraps clustering standard errors at school level for Westfall and Young, Bonferroni, and Sidak correction. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at school level. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
