Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
While numerous studies have found that school accountability
boosts test scores, it is uncertain whether estimated test score gains
reflect genuine improvements or merely “gaming†behaviors. This
paper brings to bear new evidence from a unique five-year, three-round survey conducted of a census of public elementary schools in Florida that is linked with detailed administrative data on student performance. We show that schools facing accountability pressure changed their instructional practices in meaningful ways, and
that these responses can explain a portion of the test score gains
associated with the Florida school accountability system. (JEL H75,
