Figure 3: Effects of reassignment on school moves, estimated separately for students who attend base school and students who attend schools of choice.

Note: Data are drawn from WCPSS administrative records. Move school data are available for students in all grades and years with administrative data. Models include controls for student race/ethnicity, gender, special education, and ELL status; percent of students reassigned into student’s assigned school, percent of students reassigned out of student’s assigned school, node-by-grade fixed effects, year fixed effects as described in Equation (1). While all models include terms for 4 or more years before and after reassignment, these are not reported here due to imprecision. One year before reassignment represents the reference year and is indicated by “—”.
