  • Choice and Consequence: Assessing Mismatch at Chicago Exam Schools
    Choice and Consequence: Assessing Mismatch at Chicago Exam Schools Joshua D. Angrist Parag A. Pathak Rom´anA. Z´arate∗ July 2020 Abstract The educational mismatch hypothesis asserts that students are hurt by affirmative action policies placing them in selective schools for which they wouldn't otherwise qualify. We evaluate mismatch in Chicago's selective public exam schools, which admit students using neighborhood- based diversity criteria as well as test scores. Regression discontinuity estimates for applicants favored by affirmative action indeed show no gains in reading and negative effects of exam school attendance on math scores and four-year college enrollment. But these results are similar for more- and less-selective schools and for applicants unlikely to benefit from affirmative-action, a pattern inconsistent with mismatch. We show that Chicago exam school effects are determined largely by the schools attended when not offered an exam school seat. In particular, apparent mismatch is explained by the fact that exam school admission diverts many applicants from high-performing Noble Network charter schools, where they would have done well. Consistent with these findings, exam schools reduce Math scores for applicants applying from high quality charter schools in another large urban district. Exam school applicants' previous achievement, race, and other demographic characteristics that are sometimes said to mediate student-school matching play no role in this story. ∗We are grateful to Miikka Rokkanen for his contributions to this project. Our thanks to the Chicago Public Schools, the Noble Network, and an anonymous large urban school district for graciously sharing data, to Viola Corradini, Clemence Idoux, Ignacio Rodriguez, and Hellary Zhang for excellent research assistance, and to MIT SEII program managers Annice Correia, Eryn Heying, and Anna Vallee for invaluable administrative support.

This year, as in each year since the Arts Education Plan was released, the progress report identifies some important gains. Foremost among these is that a higher percentage of CPS schools than ever before, serving a higher share of CPS students than ever before, are meeting the criteria to be rated as Strong or Excelling in the arts. This achievement is particularly encouraging considering the financial challenges the district has faced in recent years. Despite a frequently uncertain and challenging financial climate, and with additional arts gains clearly needed, data reflect that both the district and principals have continued to prioritize arts education in their schools.
