Note: 
All regressions include school- and semester-fixed effects, age indicators, racial and ethnic indicators, and 
an indicator for being over age when entering 9th grade. Statistical significance of the New Heights impact 
on the three outcomes in the attendance domain are based on 
p
-values that are adjusted for multiple 
comparisons using a Bonferroni adjustment. Statistical significance is based on a two-tailed t-test. 
*Significantly different from zero at the .10 level. 
**Significantly different from zero at the .05 level. 
***Significantly different from zero at the .01 level. 
The positive impact of New Heights is robust to choices in methods 
Our primary impact analyses involve decisions about the research methods we use to 
address multiple technical issues. The study’s findings could potentially be sensitive to these 
decisions. Findings that are highly sensitive to research methods are considered less credible 
(Leamer 1985). 
Our overall finding—that New Heights positively affected attendance and credit 
accumulation—accurately reflects our data, not our choices in research methods. Except for the 
impact on high school graduation, we find that the positive impacts of New Heights are at least 
marginally significant for most of the 20 alternative methodological approaches that we 
examined
