Abstract: While a substantial body of research documents a positive correlation between school management practices and student outcomes, experimental evidence on their causal effects --- particularly over the long term --- remains limited. We exploit the randomized implementation of "Jovem de Futuro,'' a management program implemented in Brazilian public high schools. Drawing on rich administrative data, we follow students' educational and labor market trajectories over fifteen years. We find short-term improvements in test scores and high school completion. In the long run, however, the program yields null to modest effects on college enrollment and graduation, labor market participation, and earnings.
