Note. Selected estimates (and standard errors) for models of Grade 9 GPA. Models 1 through 4 use the main analytic sample and are weighted to be nationally representative. Models 5 through 12 use the subsample of schools providing FRL information and are unweighted. Independent variables are school-mean centered. Demographic covariates include gender and indicators for Asian, African American, Hispanic, or Other (White is the race-ethnicity reference category). Observations with missing information for Grade 8 GPA or demographic variables imputed with school mean value and an indicator for missing value included in the model (estimates not reported). FRL = free or reduced-price lunch; GPA = grade point average.
