Abstract: Schools have widespread impacts on students' educational attainment. However, little is known about how specific school characteristics affect young children's development during early elementary school. To address this need, the current study examined relations between key school constructs (school achievement, novice teachers, teacher absenteeism, student absenteeism, teacher-student ratios, student expenditures) and children's gains in literacy, language, and math in kindergarten and first grade. This study used multisite Early Learning Network (ELN) data from over 400 schools in five states (Massachusetts, Ohio, North Carolina, Nebraska, Virginia). This multisite, multiyear study has the potential to shed light on how schools can target resources to promote student growth, and how policymakers can funnel resources to school improvement efforts.
