Description

A dataset compiled by Thomas Coen and colleagues tracking 1,177 applicants to 13 oversubscribed KIPP middle schools through admissions lotteries and subsequent college enrollment and persistence outcomes.

Components

• KIPP middle school college-outcome tracking dataset of 1,177 lottery applicants: A tracking dataset following 1,177 students who applied through 5th or 6th grade admissions lotteries in 2008 or 2009 to enter 1 of 13 oversubscribed KIPP middle schools. The study "uses a randomized controlled trial design" contrasting students offered admission with those not offered, enabling long-run comparison of college enrollment and early college persistence. The page describes the dataset and design but prints no outcome results. (Thomas Coen et al. (2019))
