- Protection of privacy was a consideration in all analysis. Individual student identities were masked by substituting false student record numbers for all data sets. In addition, some districts decided to provide some demographic data at a classroom level to further mask individual student records. Similarly, in our reporting, we scrambled the identification numbers for school sites, and renamed the some demographic variables to make them generic.
- These values are averages for our specific data set, not the district, because our data set was a sub-set of all students in the district. For the percentage effects discussed here, the raw RIT score (not the normalized score shown in the chart) was divided by the average from our data set.
