@DrTraceyK @marcportermagee @JoanneLeeJacobs @NickKristof Especially since youth sports are so expensive now, I’m sure there’s a big correlation between sports and wealth, and we know there’s one between academic achievement and wealth, so this would make sense.

@marcportermagee @RHTEAM @JoanneLeeJacobs @NickKristof Isn't there a correlation to household income and parental education levels? Someone (parent) has to be vested in sports and in school.

What if the cool kids in American schools were the valedictorians, not the jocks? My column on lessons from Asia: nytimes.com/2026/02/07/opi…

@marcportermagee @JoanneLeeJacobs @NickKristof Agree that old stereotype is wrong. Curious if you know if studies have been done on which way the causality runs? Do sports attract top students or lead to students getting better grades? Or both?

@NickKristof This was a popular trope in 80s movies but it is not really a thing anymore in American schools. The top students are often also the top athletes. In fact, grades and sports participation go hand in hand. 50can.org/wp-content/upl…

Results released today of a new study following the long term impact of KIPP charter schools are incredible and highly policy relevant. One of my critiques of program evaluations is they tend to judge short term measures (like test scores) when what matters is long term outcomes (higher ed completion and income). So we @Arnold_Ventures sanctioned the 1st study to follow kids who attended a KIPP charter school for 10 years. While earlier research showed kids who attended a KIPP middle school had significant improvements in test scores, this study shows that kids who subsequently did not attend a KIPP high school only had minimal improvement in college attendance and completion. But for kids who attended both a KIPP middle and high school, the impact was enormous: nearly doubling the % of kids who graduated with a 4-year degree. As the researchers wrote: "An effect of this size, extrapolated nationwide, would be large enough to nearly close the degree-completion gap (for Black and Hispanic students)."

A new study reveals vastly improved college enrollment and completion rates for students who attended both KIPP middle and high schools as compared to a similar group of children who applied for enrollment but were not selected... @KIPP @MathematicaNow the74million.org/article/kipp-m…

KIPP middle and high school students have far higher college completion rates buff.ly/3r6nAln
