Abstract: This study examines the relationship between instructional quality, student engagement, and standardized assessment outcomes within charter schools. Utilizing classroom observation data from 27 schools over two academic years, we construct an "Antecedents to Student Engagement" index, capturing key instructional strategies that foster student engagement. We analyzed the association between these instructional antecedents, student socioeconomic status, and academic achievement. Results indicate that higher engagement antecedents are significantly associated with improved academic outcomes, independent of SES. Our findings suggest that schools emphasizing engagement-focused instructional practices mitigate disparities in student growth underscoring the importance of integrating qualitative measures into evaluations of school effectiveness.
