Top of the Class (Nearly): 9 (Tom Gates)

Product Information

Principals have a longstanding tradition of celebrating good league table results, and quietly ignoring those that may not be so flattering, and I have every intention of observing that tradition. Our main finding is that students achieve higher test scores in a subject throughout secondary school if they had a higher rank in that subject during primary school. A one standard deviation increase in rank in primary school improves age-14 and age-16 test scores by around 0.08 standard deviations. This is comparable to estimates of the impact on test scores of being taught by a teacher one standard deviation better than the average ( Rivkin et al., 2005; Aaronson et al., 2007). This rank impact is four times larger than the presence of a single disruptive peer in a class throughout elementary school on high school outcomes ( Carrell et al., 2018). These effects vary by pupil characteristics. Boys are more affected by their primary rank than girls. Students who are free school meal eligible (FSME) are not negatively impacted by low ranks, but gain more from high ranks compared to non-FSME students. This heterogeneity allows for the possibility of net gains in test scores from regrouping students. We discuss this in the conclusion.
