Notes. This table restricts the sample to students taking one, two, or three honors classes. Columns (1) to (4) restrict the sample to nonhonors classes, and columns (5) to (8) restrict to honors classes. Columns (1) and (5) present OLS regressions of a dummy variable for whether the student signed up for the SAT prep course on a public sign-up dummy, controlling for dummies on the number of honors classes taken by the student. Columns (2) and (6) add individual covariates (age and dummies for male and Hispanic). Columns (3) and (7) further add surveyor and classroom fixed effects. Columns (4) and (8) replicate columns (3) and (7) adding controls for the number of honors classes taken by subject categories (math/sciences and social sciences; the omitted category is humanities). Robust standard errors in brackets. *** p<.01, ** p<.05, * p<. 1. See Section III.D for a description of the wild bootstrap and permutation test procedures.
