Note. All models without family fixed effects include the following set of control variables: age, gender, race/ethnicity, grade level, first-born child, mother’s education, family income, and rural status. Family fixed effects models include the following set of control variables: age, gender, race/ethnicity, grade level, and first-born child. In all models without family fixed effects, robust standard errors are clustered at the school level. In family fixed effects models, robust standard errors are clustered at the family level.
