Clotfelter, Charles T.; Ladd, Helen F.; Vigdor, Jacob L. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2012
In 2002/03, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina initiated a broad program of accelerating entry into algebra coursework. The proportion of moderately-performing students taking algebra in 8th grade increased from half to 85%, then reverted to baseline levels, in the span of just five years. We use this policy-induced variation to…
