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

  • + significant at 10 percent;

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

  • Columns 1 through 6 are based on a panel of 57 schools. Columns 7 through 12 are based on 48 schools. All regressions are based on the preferred specification using the sample of APIP and future-APIP schools. All models include school demographic and enrollment variables, school fixed effects, and time fixed effects for each propensity score decile.
