This table presents the difference between public schools and the schools operated by each contractor. The information for all schools is taken from the 2015/2016 EMIS data, and therefore is pre-treatment information. Column 9 shows the p-value for testing H0 : β BRAC = β Bridge = βYMCA = β MtM = βOmega = β Rising = β St.Child = β StellaM . Standard errors are clustered at the school level. The sample is the original treatment and control allocation. Since some contractors had no schools with classes above the class caps, there is no data to estimate treatment effects over constrained classes. ∗ p < 0.10, ∗∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗∗ p < 0.01
