Note. Each entry represents results from a separate regression. Standard errors clustered at the school-level are in parentheses. Fixed effects at the random assignment site level are included in all analyses. Standard errors are clustered at the classroom level. Models include fixed effects for the unit of random assignment (i.e. grantee, school). Child and family controls included child gender, race, age (months), baseline achievement and social skills; parent/primary caregiver education (years), whether working, age (years), annual household income (thousands), and whether receiving welfare. Missing dummy variables were included in the analyses to account for missing independent variables. Outcomes were standardized to have a mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1. Ns are rounded to the nearest 10 in accordance with NCES data policies.
