摘要

This study examines the impact of graduating from a private elementary school in Korea on academic achievement during the first year of middle school. Methodologically, the study addresses the issue of endogeneity by leveraging application-based lottery admission data for private elementary schools. The findings reveal no significant statistical support for the public’s general belief that graduating from private elementary schools positively influences students’ academic performance in middle school. Instead, the study identifies parental involvement in children’s education as exerting a greater influence on pupils’ academic success. These results underscore the potential value of policy interventions aimed at encouraging parental engagement for enhancing overall academic performance.
