Standardized test scores do not necessarily indicate the effectiveness of schools in producing human capital, as there is no correlation between test score effects and income effects. Differences in test score production across places are not a useful measure of school quality.
Do standardized test scores in a community indicate whether schools there are effective at producing human capital? Counties with high average test scores produce high-earning adults. But, using data from North Carolina, we find that counties' effects on test scores are uncorrelated with their effects on income in adulthood. We argue that this is probably because the inputs directly responsible for counties' effects on test scores do not substantially increase income. In particular, we find that differences in test score production have little to do with teacher quality. Our results suggest that differences in test score production across places are not necessarily a useful measure of the quality of schools.
