An Attempt to Improve Prediction of College Success of Minority Students by Adjusting for High School Characteristics
Hedges, Larry V.; Majer, Kenneth
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 36, 4, 953-7, Win 76

The rating factor, based on prior students' performances from the same high school, added little to the prediction equation. (JKS)
