Researchers found students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.

Do you think classrooms which overlooked roads and parking lots also belong to classrooms with unblocked views?

If yes, the above sentences make no sense.

Can you help me understand the sentence?

Thanks.

Jason

No, the comparison is between classrooms with a view and those without much view.
