  1. Notes: This table summarizes the estimates of the impact of LE shares and share of Latino peers on test scores from 18 separate estimations using school-by-year fixed effects. In all specifications, we control for the previous year math z-score, own gender, and other variables highlighted under Table 3. Setup of panels A, B, and C is same as Table 3. The estimated coefficients for all variables are available upon request. Robust clustered standard errors in parentheses
