A recent study by Rees and Sabia (2011) found migraine headache was negatively related to educational attainment even after accounting for the influence of family-level unobservables.

A slack labor market could affect the high school dropout rate by discouraging students from dropping out or by encouraging them to seek work to cover family job losses. A longitudinal study of 680 New York State school districts favors the former conclusion. A district's yearly 3.7% dropout rate might increase 2% with a 1% increase in the county…

Although researchers believe ability grouping is widespread, national descriptive statistics are scarce. Data from the 1988 National Educational Longitudinal Study data suggest a sizeable majority of 8th- and 10th-grade students are tracked. Informal tracking patterns are similar. Low-socioeconomic students, blacks, and Hispanics tend to be…
