Closing the achievement gap between high-poverty schools and low-poverty schools
We examine the achievement gap between low-income minority students in inner city (high-poverty) schools and their white high-income counterparts who attend suburban (lowpoverty) schools. Our data include the 4 and 5 grade math and reading scores for over 15,000 students in a large urban school district. We use a multilevel model to show that school resources do matter. We find that high qualit...
متن کاملAcademic Differentiation, Classroom Peer Skill, and Inequality: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in 60 Urban High Schools
Most US high school students attend non-selective comprehensive public schools. Within these schools, students have historically been assigned to mathematics classes on the basis of prior math skill. Critics argue that this practice, often referred to as " tracking, " restricts learning opportunities for low-skill students, increasing social and ethnic inequality. In response, educators have la...
متن کاملDo Peers Affect Student Achievement? Evidence from Canada Using Group Size Variation
Do Peers Affect Student Achievement? Evidence from Canada Using Group Size Variation We provide the first empirical application of a new approach proposed by Lee (2007) to estimate peer effects in a linear-in-means model. This approach allows to control for grouplevel unobservables and to solve the reflection problem. We investigate peer effects in student achievement in Mathematics, Science, F...

متن کاملAn Evaluation of Mathematics Competitions Using Item Response Theory
D uring the past century, mathematics competitions have become part of the landscape in mathematics education. The first major mathematics competition in the United States began with an idea of William Lowell Putnam in 1921 [6], and the mathematics competition named in his honor has become the premier mathematics competition in the United States for undergraduates, with 508 schools and 3,640 in...
