通往大学成功的不同路径：马萨诸塞州特许学校对大学轨迹的影响
Different Paths to College Success: The Impact of Massachusetts’s Charter Schools on College Trajectories
摘要
The charter school movement encompasses many school models. In Massachusetts in the 2010s, the site of our study, urban charter schools primarily used “No Excuses” practices, whereas nonurban charters had greater model variety. Using randomized admissions lotteries, we estimate the impact of charter schools by locality on college preparation, enrollment, and graduation. Urban charter schools boost all of these outcomes. Nonurban charter schools raise college enrollment and graduation despite reducing state test scores and AP enrollment. Notably, the nonurban charter college graduation edge is more than twice as large as that from urban charter attendance. (JEL H75, I21, I23, I28)
中文摘要
特许学校运动包含多种学校模式。在我们研究的马萨诸塞州，2010年代的城市特许学校主要采用"零容忍"实践，而非城市特许学校的模式则更加多样化。利用随机录取抽签机制，我们估算了不同地区特许学校对大学准备、入学及毕业的影响。城市特许学校提升了所有这些指标。非城市特许学校尽管降低了州统考成绩和AP课程注册率，却提高了大学入学率和毕业率。值得注意的是，非城市特许学校带来的大学毕业生优势是城市特许学校的两倍以上。（JEL H75, I21, I23, I28）
