The study compares the characteristics of high-schools depending on students' academic achievement. To this end, based on the level of academic achievement of high school students, schools are divided into high-achieving and low-achieving schools. Research questions are set as follows. First, what are the predictors of high-achieving and low-achieving schools for reading, English, and mathematics? Second, what is the extent of the differences in the predictors between high-achieving and low-achieving schools? The 2019 National Assessment of Educational Achievement (NAEA) results and surveys from students, teachers, and principals are used for analysis. To find the school-level predictors, first, the LASSO logit model using the penalty regression model is applied. Second, the averages of high- and low-achieving school characteristics are compared. Characteristics that commonly exhit differences between high- and low-achieving schools in reading, English, and mathematics are the parent climate (request of parents to improve their children's academic achievement), the number of students from multicultural families, positive perception of schools, school types(public/private), and students’ self-study time, and so on.
