High school findings (pp. 116-120 of the full study) from the observational CPS analysis: four-year graduation rates for students starting high school overage were 31% in poor, 66% in fair, 70% in good, and 74% in great racial equity climate schools. Racial equity climate was measured via supplemental 5Essentials Survey items on perceived fairness by race.
"Overage students who attended high schools with a great racial equity climate were twice as likely to graduate high school in four years as overage students who attended schools with poor racial equity climate."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Within the same neighborhoods and schools, boys and Black students are more likely to be overage for grade, a proxy for prior retention — related
- Attending a high school that reduces the fear of bullying raises students' graduation rates — a broader claim this one bears on
- The association between teacher qualifications and learning gains depends on school context: no association exists at schools with poor learning climates — related
- At racially/ethnically diverse schools, African American boys are suspended at about 13 percentage points higher rates than other students in the same school — related
