| Περίληψη: | Most students in the United States do not meet national performance standards in math by the time they leave high school. Only 24 percent of twelfth-graders met (or exceeded) National Assessment of Education Progress math standards during the most recent assessment in 2019, and high school math scores on the most recent Programme for International Student Assessment in 2022 were among the lowest ever recorded for U.S. students. This fact is concerning since high school math performance has a strong association with students' academic and professional success. Students who perform well in math are more likely to graduate from high school within four years, enroll in postsecondary education, and earn higher wages once they join the labor market. It is therefore crucial to understand how to improve high school math performance, especially for students who enter high school performing below grade-level standards. This brief presents the findings of a study that examined how students' eighth-grade math proficiency affects their math performance in high school and their ability to benefit from the range of additional support services provided by reformed New York City high schools. Specifically, between 2002 and 2008, NYC Public Schools (NYCPS) closed many large, underperforming high schools, and replaced them with over 100 small high schools to serve students in the lowest-income areas of the city. Since these schools accepted students of all academic abilities, were located mainly in disadvantaged communities, and therefore represented a realistic small school option for many students who did not previously have one, researchers called them Small Schools of Choice (SSCs). |
