0000008140 00000 n The credible estimation of causal effects is a central task of applied econometrics. 0000008162 00000 n The results suggest that attending a small class in the early grades is associated with somewhat higher performance on standardized test, and an increase in the likelihood that students take a college-entrance exam, especially among minority students. The STAR research shows that small classes (15-17 pupils) in kindergarten through third grade (K-3) provide short- and long-term benefits for students, teachers, and society at large. 0000011109 00000 n

The experiment began with the wave of students who entered kindergarten in 1985, and lasted for four years. Although all students benefit; poor, minority, and male students reap extra benefits in terms of improved test outcomes, school engagement, and reduced grade retention and dropout rates. }SIwY?o:|={F+\/|j*b+!bW-Os'}PXD5@ v @SV gwtt0p"d!&b H29 bS,p[!jPUBiTL-|E@iAohj*irD*s804;wLYX>3grTAr HOca,zH-dlY Q
