Courtney, Jon R.; Garcia, Janelle Taylor; Rowberry, Jacob; Eckberg, Nathan; Dinces, Sarah M.; Lobaugh, Clayton S.; Tolman, Ryan T. – International Journal of Child Care and Education Policy, 2023
The long-term impact of prekindergarten programs is an important consideration given the trend of dedicating more resources to these programs. However, long-term impact of prekindergarten programs is not well-understood and recent studies have shown preschool effectiveness can vary across states and programs. A state run prekindergarten program in…

DiSalvo, Richard W. – Education Finance and Policy, 2022
Do grade configurations affect student academic performance? To bring new evidence to this question, I use recent district-by-grade data for nearly the entire United States that contain measures of test score achievement and rates of school switching induced by grade configuration. Past research has found that student performance, is, on average,…

Amelia Baldwin – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This quantitative, correlational study aimed to investigate the relationships between collective teacher efficacy (CTE), its enabling conditions (EC-CTE), and student achievement in third through eighth grades in Colorado. Leveraging the theoretical foundations established by Rotter (1954), Bandura (1977) and expanded by Tschannen-Moran et al.…

Lewis, Karyn; Kuhfeld, Megan; Langi, Meredith; Peters, Scott; Fahle, Erin – Center for School and Student Progress at NWEA, 2022
In this brief we examine how variability in students' math and reading test scores changed across the pandemic, including whether increased dispersion was concentrated at one part of the test score distribution. Using reading and math assessment data from a sample of 8 million students in grades 3-8 in 24,000 public schools who took MAP Growth…

Jessica Drescher; Anne Podolsky; Sean F. Reardon; Gabrielle Torrance – Grantee Submission, 2022
We use nearly 430 million standardized test scores, including test scores from more than 6,500 rural school districts, to describe educational opportunity in rural America. Although we find modest differences in outcomes between rural and nonrural students overall, these disparities are larger for specific socioeconomic, racial-ethnic, and…

There is empirical evidence of substantial heterogeneity in economic mobility across geographic areas and the efficacy of schools has been suggested as an explanatory factor. Using administrative microdata from seven states covering nearly 3 million students, we explore the potential role of schools in promoting economic mobility by estimating…
