Student Performance RDD: Reading Score Threshold Effect on Math Scores

A dataset for Regression Discontinuity Design analysis examining the causal effect of meeting a reading score threshold for Honor Roll status on subsequent math performance. The data was sourced from Kaggle, but the author, organization, and specific collection details are not provided. The last update date and dataset size are unknown.

Use Cases

• Estimate the causal impact of Honor Roll eligibility on math scores based on the reading score threshold.
• Test the assumptions of Regression Discontinuity Design using the provided reading and math score data.
• Model student academic performance and the interaction between reading proficiency and math outcomes.

Strengths

• Designed for a specific causal inference method (Regression Discontinuity Design).
• Focuses on a clear educational policy mechanism (Honor Roll eligibility).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
