Notes: The sample is all first-time, public school Michigan eleventh graders in years 2004–09, conditional on reaching spring of eleventh grade. For columns 1–3, 6–8, and 11–13, the sample is restricted to the 226 schools without a pre-policy ACT test center and the 226 schools with a pre-policy test center matched using single nearest neighbor matching without replacement. An Epanechnikov kernel and bandwidth of 0.06 is used in columns 4, 9, and 14. Each column is a separate linear probability model regression. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the school level.
*Significant at the 10% level; **significant at the 5% level; ***significant at the 1% level.
