我研究了受卡特里娜飓风和丽塔飓风影响的学生的长期学习成绩和大学入学情况。因飓风而被迫转学的学生在飓风过后第一年的考试成绩急剧下降。然而，在灾难发生后的第三和第四年，从奥尔良教区撤离的人的得分提高了0.18个标准差。收益最初集中在考试分数分布中最低五分之一的学生中。卡特里娜飓风后撤离的人在大学学习方面，与飓风前同一所高中的早期人群相比，并没有表现出增长。
I examine long-term academic performance and college going for students affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Students who are forced to switch schools due to the hurricanes experience sharp declines in test scores in the first year following the hurricanes. However, by the third and fourth years after the disaster, evacuees displaced from Orleans Parish see a 0.18 standard deviation improvement in scores. Gains are concentrated among students initially in the lowest quintiles of the test score distribution. Katrina evacuees do not show gains in college going relative to earlier cohorts from their same pre-hurricane high schools.
