This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Using HGLM models controlling for student demographics, qualifications, and neighborhood context, teacher assessment of college-going climate is significantly associated with the conditional likelihood of planning, applying, being accepted, and enrolling in a four-year college. → Roderick 2011

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Two-level HGLM models with 58 high schools at level 2, using teacher assessment of college-going climate (a Rasch-based measure from 5 survey items). Models controlled for demographics, qualifications, neighborhood, school involvement, and student survey measures.
"Findings suggest that qualifications and college aspirations will not necessarily translate into four-year college enrollment if urban high schools do not develop organizational norms and structures that guide students effectively through the college application process."
