Advanced Placement Classes

A follow-up study was made of the students in the mathematics Advanced Placement classes at a large New York City high school from 1956-57 to 1964-65, inclusive. Of the 182 students who responded to the questionnaire 52% were offered placement and 32% were offered credit. Beginning with 1964, all students with a score of at least 3 on the Advanced Placement Examination received an offer of placement and/or credit. The students attended 45 different colleges. Almost 90% of the students indicated that the program was a good experience for them. Their chief criticism of the Advanced Placement course, however, was its lack of emphasis on theory.

Children With Cerebral Palsy

This report describes the findings and interim results of a follow-up study of 770 children with cerebral palsy who were cared for under the aegis of the New York City Financial Aid Program from 1945 to July 1, 1954. The findings seem to indicate that some redirection of the program to include development, expansion and improvement of some alternate services within the community is advisable. It is likely that this same type of follow-up study would be of equal value for children of other diagnostic groups, and similar studies might be initiated.

Neighbourhood Socioeconomic Status

ObjectiveTo determine whether neighbourhood socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and biomarkers of diet (urinary sodium and potassium excretion).DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingThe data reported were from the 2010 Heart Follow-up Study, a population-based representative survey of 1645 adults.ParticipantsCommunity-dwelling diverse residents of New York City nested within 128 neighbourhoods (zip codes).Primary and secondary outcome measuresBMI (kg/m2) and WC (inches) were measured during in-home visits, and 24-hour urine sample was collected to measure biomarkers of diet: sodium (mg/day) and potassium (mg/day), with high sodium and low potassium indicative of worse diet quality.ResultsAfter adjusting for individual-level characteristics using multilevel linear regressions, low versus high neighbourhood SES tertile was associated with 1.83 kg/m2higher BMI (95% CI 0.41 to 3.98) and 251 mg/day lower potassium excretion (95% CI −409 to 93) among women only, with no associations among men (P values for neighbourhood SES by sex interactions <0.05).ConclusionOur results suggest that women may be particularly vulnerable to the effects of a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhood. Future neighbourhood research should explore sex differences, as these can inform tailored interventions.Trial registration numberNCT01889589; Results.

School Assignment

Coordinated single-offer school assignment systems are a popular education reform. We show that uncoordinated offers in NYC's school assignment mechanism generated mismatches. One-third of applicants were unassigned after the main round and later administratively placed at less desirable schools. We evaluate the effects of the new coordinated mechanism based on deferred acceptance using estimated student preferences. The new mechanism achieves 80 percent of the possible gains from a no-choice neighborhood extreme to a utilitarian benchmark. Coordinating offers dominates the effects of further algorithm modifications. Students most likely to be previously administratively assigned experienced the largest gains in welfare and subsequent achievement. (JEL C78, D82, I21, I28)
