摘要：Abstract This study analyzes how the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin affects schools and specifically students in Florida. The research examines students’ reading scores, employing a Synthetic Control Method (SCM) to construct a synthetic comprised of 29 schools in the Miami Dade School District as the comparison group. The findings suggest that the shooting of Trayvon Martin lowered reading scores by 1% point in 2013 while the synthetic obtained a 7% point increase in reading scores in 2013. Finally, this paper proposes steps to take in the event of a traumatic event occurring at schools.
