I. Value Added Models 
A value-added model of the following form was used to estimate school effects: 
(1) 
 
where Aist represents the achievement level of student i in school s at time t, 
 
is a vector of 
 
prior test scores, is a vector of student characteristics, is a school fixed effect, and is a 
 
random error term. One can view the school fixed effect as the difference between a student's 
 
actual test score ( ) and the score a student would be expected to earn based on their 
 
individual characteristics and past history of test scores 
 
, averaged over all 
 
students at a school. By construction, the average school has a fixed effect of zero and the 
 
performance of all other schools is measured relative to this average. Thus a positive estimated 
 
value for a school's fixed effect indicates they increase student achievement more than the 
 
average school while a negative value indicates they are less effective than the average school. 
 
Three versions of the value-added model were estimated. The first employed all available student characteristics in the vector X. Estimates from this model are presented in the main report. The second removed indicators for student racial/ethnic categories. The third eliminated the X vector entirely and only included the vector of prior test scores. Each of the three value- added models was applied to 16 different samples representing four Milestones end-of-grade subjects at the elementary level, four Milestones end-of-grade subjects at the middle school level and eight subject-specific end-of-course exams at the high school level. Estimates for the 48 model/sample combinations are provided below. 
 
There are two things worth noting in the value-added model estimates. First, virtually all of the coefficients on the demographic characteristics have the expected sign. Second, most all of the coefficients on the demographic variables are statistically significant, indicating they have a non-zero impact on current test scores, even after controlling for prior test scores.

II. School Effect Estimates Based on Alternative Value-Added Models and School-Level Growth Percentiles Based on Alternative Measures and Samples 
All of the value-added school effects in the main report are based on estimates from the full value-added model that includes all available demographic controls. The following charts and tables report estimates based on the two alternative specifications of the value-added model, one that excludes indicators for race and ethnicity and one that eliminates all demographic variables (and thus only includes lagged test scores). 
The school-level student growth measures in the main report are averages of the individual student growth percentiles for students attending a given school. They are based on the full sample of students with SGP information. Results using two alternative school-level growth measures are presented below. The first uses school average SGPs, but only includes students included in the full value added model estimation. This excludes, for example, students with missing demographic information. The second alternative employs this same sample, but uses the school-level median SGP, rather than the mean.
