  • Robust standard errors in brackets. Standard errors clustered at school district level.

  • + significant at 10 percent; * significant at 5 percent; ** significant at 1 percent.

  • Notes: All regressions are based on 384 observations from 57 schools. All regression specifications include school-level controls, school fixed effects, year fixed effects, and propensity score decile by year fixed effects. Due to data masking count fewer than five are coded as missing. Treatment effects are not estimated for above 1100/24 for blacks because there are too many missing values. To provide bounds for those masked observations, missing values are assumed to be four and zero.
