* Statistically significant at the 95 percent confidence level.
Means are regression-adjusted using a consistent set of baseline covariates. Impacts are displayed in terms of scale scores and effect sizes in terms of standard deviations. Valid N for reading = 1,649; math = 1,715. Separate reading and math sample weights used.
