[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a helpful list. Do you have a sense of sample size for these?

[quote=Anonymous]A few things…

1. Yes, testing scores are far from everything.

2. I pulled the data for White students instead of the overall scores because that's the demographic my child fits in. Feel free to compare any other group: https://www.empowerk12.org/data-dashboard-source/dc-metrics-dash

3. This looks at Meeting or Exceeding Expectations for both English and Math.

[/quote][/quote] I don’t, sorry, but your best bet would be to look at the demographic percentages of the schools you’re interested in comparing. [/quote]

No this is incorrect.  PP above is right.  Sample size is absolutely important when analyzing this.

2 or 3 out of 25 kids above grade level vs 15 out of 25 is a big difference and dictates how curriculum is taught and at what level. [/quote]

I didn’t say it wasn’t important, I just meant that to get an idea of if the sample size was sufficient to be statistically significant, you can look at the demographic percentage of the school to give you an estimate. For example, at Houston, it’s &lt;1% white non-Hispanic. If the data were available, it would be useless due to an n of, like, 1.[/quote]

No you cannot by looking at the demographic percentage because the majority percentage of white families are in ECE, not in the upper grades which the data represents.

You need to actually know how many white students vs. how many total students in3rd, 4th, or 5th.   Having 3 white students who are on grade level in a class of 25 is not statistically significant as compared to having 15 out of 25.[/quote]
