Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Strong scores and growth on the 5Essentials Survey predict student success measures including GPA, attendance, test scores, and college enrollment — related
• Among elementary schools with strong 5Essentials results, high-poverty schools improved more than low-poverty schools on more than one-half of measures — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Strength on most 5Essentials measures was similarly likely across poverty levels, but five measures were less prevalent in high-poverty schools — related
• 5Essentials Survey measures predict school improvement in elementary and high schools, but not all measures relate to all outcomes — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Elementary attendance improved more in schools that were strong or growing on 5Essentials Survey measures, in both pooled and within-school models — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Elementary GPA improved more in schools with strong 5Essentials Survey scores, a new outcome beyond the original validation — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Yearly high school attendance grew up to 3.55 percentage points more in schools with strong 5Essentials Survey measures than in schools with average scores — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
