HSB: High School and Beyond Data
Description
This data is a modified subsample from the 1982 High School and Beyond Survey and is used extensively in Hierarchical Linear Models by Raudenbush and Bryk. The data file, called hsb, consists of 7,185 students nested in 160 schools. The outcome variable of interest is the student-level (level 1) math achievement score (mathach). The variable ses is the socio-economic status of a student and therefore is at the student level. The variable meanses is the average SES for each school and therefore is at the school level (level 2). The variable sector is a variable indicating if a school is public or catholic and is therefore a school-level variable. There are 90 public schools (sector=0) and 70 catholic schools (sector=1) in the sample.
