Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- DC public high schools show wide variation in promotion power for college-ready SAT scores, graduation, and college enrollment — related
- Schools with high promotion power for high school graduation tended also to have high promotion power for college enrollment — related
- Student background characteristics are less strongly related to promotion power scores than to status measures — related
- The Louisiana study separated high schools' contributions to long-term success from family resources and students' learning before high school — related
- Schools positively impacting one promotion power measure are more likely to positively impact other long-term outcomes, but many show varying effectiveness across outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
- Students at high promotion power high schools have substantially better expected long-term outcomes than similar students at average promotion power schools — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
