Extended Data Table 2 Predicting excellence gaps across schools

From: Measuring racial educational disparities over time amongst top achievers

  1. This table presents results of twelve OLS regressions to predict a school’s excellence gap with its observable characteristics. Positive values of the excellence gap are in favor of minorities. Observation is at the school-level, weighted by the number of test-takers in that school across all years. Each regression includes indicators for each grade that a school teaches, and year that the school is observed in the data for. Excellence is defined as reaching the top decile on the math or reading statewide standardized exam, MEAP for all years until 2014 and M-STEP for all years after 2014. Analysis uses our main sample, as defined in Methods, which consists of 534,122 students in total: 136,137 classified as a racial minority and 397,985 as a non-minority. Standard errors in parentheses, clustered at the school-level. All tests are two-sided.
