It also seems possible that students do better on tests when the air is cleaner, but that doesn't necessarily mean the students learned more.
Imagine if some schools installed air conditioning in their gym one year. Running times around an indoor track would improve considerably, but mostly because conditions at the point of testing improved. Not necessarily because the air conditioning made the students actually improve their stamina or speed.
