We see that two of the schools in the master data did not have matches in the using data (because they had fewer than five students per school, so we did not compute OLS estimates for them). We see that two of the students in the master data did not have matches in the using data (because their school, school 48, had fewer than 5 students in the data, so we did not compute OLS estimates for that school).
