The study reports that fostering socioemotional development most strongly influenced high school graduation and postsecondary enrollment/attendance, and fostering behaviors most strongly influenced 11th grade arrests on school grounds.

"Schools' impacts on large scale assessment scores from 9th grade mattered for students trajectories; however, schools' impacts on socioemotional development and behaviors in 9th grade matter substantially more."
