The purpose of this collection is to
determine the extent to which there are natural circumstances that
approximate random assignment among a group of college- and
career-focused schools that belong to one or more school reform
networks. A survey will be administered to principals of these
schools to determine if they are oversubscribed and use lotteries
for student admission. If a sufficient number of schools with such
practices are identified, future research could use these naturally
occurring experimental conditions to investigate differences in the
outcomes achieved by students who attend these types of
schools.
