Administrative-data study reported by the review: Murphy and Weinhardt (2014) used data on the entire student population in England, exploiting that pupils with similar national-test performance have different class rankings; a high rank 'has a large and robust effect on secondary school achievement at age 14'. No standardized effect size is printed.
