This study proposed to identify and select high and low-effectiveness schools in Baja California based on ENLACE (Quality of Educational Attainment Exams) scores and context tests. A representative sample of 85 schools and around 7,000 students was obtained for 2010 and 2011. Hierarchical linear models were applied to calculate residual scores at a school level. After adjustment of the 8 final models, which isolate the effect of significant contextual variables, statistical criteria were used to select 15 schools with high and low residual scores. The results show that the distributions of schools selected are similar in both cases to the reference population. The results show the robustness of the selection procedure used and highlight its significance in detecting good practices in high-effectiveness schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
