Abstract | The determinants of education quality remain a puzzle in much of the literature. In particular, no one has been able to isolate the effect of the quality of a student's peers on achievement. The author identifies this by considering the introduction of a magnet school into a school district. The magnet school selects high quality students from throughout the school district, generating plausibly exogenous variation in the quality of classmates remaining to those students in the regular school. The study finds that the loss of high ability peers lowers the performance of low-scoring students remaining in regular schools; high scoring students are also affected negatively, but this effect is not statistically significant.
