This study found no such thing, because, 8th graders.


To clarify: I do not think 22B meant literally 'Harvard' and 'Podunk' - these were just quick labels meaning to point out that it is absurd or disingenuous to compare across schools.

So it is not known whether their comparison is valid/makes sense or not.
