| 520 | |a This paper considers the effect of high stakes promotion tests on early high school dropout patterns. Analysis of data from the National Educational Longitudinal Survey of 1988, a nationally representative survey of 8th grade students in the United States, indicates that the presence of an 8th grade promotion test requirement is strongly associated with an increased probability of dropping out. This association persists even after controlling for a moderate range of school and individual level characteristics associated with dropping out. The difference in dropout rates between students taking and not taking promotion tests is not trivial, particularly for students with low achievement, low grade point average, and low socioeconomic status, where the difference in dropout probabilities is as much as two percentage points.
