Chapter 2 examines the effect of school choice if the cost of educating students varies by ability. I construct a model where teachers allocate their time between lecturing and working with students individually. A selective magnet school is introduced and high-ability students exit the classroom, this makes educating students at non-magnets more costly. To test the effects of introducing a magnet school, I construct a six-year panel of students who during the last two years can attend a magnet program or their neighborhood school. I find that attending the magnet positively affects individual's test scores and that the share of future magnet students in ones class negatively affects individual test scores. This suggests that some students may be better off if magnet students are removed from their class..
