  • School Choice and College Attendance Evidence from Randomized Lotteries
    David Deming DRAFT – DO NOT CIRCULATE September 2009 1 School Choice and College Attendance Evidence from Randomized Lotteries David Deming Justine Hastings Thomas Kane Douglas Staiger This is a preliminary draft. Please do not circulate or quote it without prior permission. Comments are welcome and appreciated. ABSTRACT In 2002, Charlotte Mecklenburg school district implemented an open enrollment policy that allocated slots at oversubscribed schools via random lottery. To assess the impact of gaining admission to a highly demanded high school, we match administrative data from the district to the National Student Clearinghouse, a national administrative database of postsecondary enrollment. We find strong evidence that high school lottery winners from neighborhoods assigned to the lowest-performing schools benefited greatly from choice. Girls are 12 percentage points more likely to attend a four-year college. Boys are 13 percentage points more likely to graduate from high school but are less likely to attend a four-year college. We present suggestive evidence that changes in relative rank within schools may explain these puzzling gender differences. In contrast with the results for students from low-performing home school zones, we find little evidence of gains for students whose home schools are of even average quality. David Deming DRAFT – DO NOT CIRCULATE September 2009 2 School choice is an increasingly important feature of the U.S. education policy landscape. Scarce public resources and the rising return to education have led to a focus on policies that can enhance schools’ productivity. Proponents of school choice espouse policies which decouple neighborhood residence and school attendance, breaking the monopoly power of local school districts and causing schools to compete for students (Hoxby, 2003.) Aside from competitive pressure, school choice could also enhance welfare by improving match quality between students and schools (Hoxby, 2003).

  • Improving School Accountability Systems
    Improving School Accountability Systems by Thomas J. Kane and Douglas O. Staiger School of Public Policy and Social Research Department of Economics UCLA Dartmouth College and NBER and NBER May 13, 2002 Seminar participants at Columbia University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the National Bureau of Economic Research, Northwestern University, the Public Policy Institute of California, Stanford University, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of Michigan and the RAND Corporation provided a number of helpful suggestions. Robert Gibbons provided especially helpful advice. Abstract In this paper, we analyze the statistical properties of school test scores and explore the implications for the design of school accountability systems. Using data from North Carolina, we decompose the variance of school-level test scores into a persistent component, sampling variation and other non-persistent shocks. We find that sampling variation and other non- persistent components of school test score measures account for between 25 and 65 percent of the variation in school-level test scores, with measures based on first-differences (also known as “value-added” measures) being the least reliable. We use the information from the variance decomposition to construct “filtered” estimates of the persistent component of school performance. We find that filtered estimates are more accurate indicators of school performance than conventional estimates, and forecast between 10 and 70 percent of the persistent variation in test scores one to two years into the future. Finally, we show how the optimal incentive contract would incorporate both the filtered estimate of a school’s performance as well as the conventional measure of current performance in a simple and empirically feasible manner .

Jacob and Jens Ludwig ne of the best ways to avoid being poor as an adult is to obtain a good edu- cation. As Katherine Magnuson and Elizabeth Votruba-Drzal’s chapter in Othis volume notes, people who have higher levels of academic achievement and more years of schooling earn more than those with lower levels of human cap- ital. This is not surprising in light of the belief by economists that schooling makes people more productive and that wages are related to productivity. Yet in modern America poor children face an elevated risk for a variety of adverse educational outcomes. In the 2007 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), only 16 percent of fourth-grade students eligible for free lunch scored at proficient levels in reading, compared with 44 percent of fourth graders whose family incomes were above the eligibility cutoff for free lunch; the disparity in math scores was even larger, 21 percent versus 53 percent (NCES 2007a; NCES 2007b). Equally large disparities in achievement test scores are observed between whites and minority racial or ethnic groups, with test score gaps that show up as early as three or four years of age (Jencks and Phillips 1998).1 In fact, the black- white test score gap among twelfth-graders may not be all that different in mag- nitude from the gap observed among young children when they first start school (Phillips, Crouse, and John 1998; Ludwig 2003).
