Summary: This article investigates the effect of attending a key high school using unique administrative data collected from China. We employ regression discontinuity design to mitigate selection bias arising from unobservable individual ability. Our results show that attending a key high school has a positive effect on student’s college entrance examination score. The results are robust to various robustness checks.
