Density of the Forcing Variable (School Achievement). Notes: Each dot indicates the frequency count, at one percentage point intervals, of school achievement. School Achievement is the running variable and represents the share of students meeting or exceeding state standards on the 2004 ISAT composite. The solid lines are locally weighted regressions. The vertical line represents the estimated achievement threshold—55 percent of elementary students meeting or exceeding state standards.
