Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? A higher percentage of Bronxdale 9th- and 10th-graders earned sufficient credits to be on track for graduation than comparison, borough, and citywide counterparts. → Ancess 2019

NYC DOE 2017–18 indicator data show Bronxdale 9th- and 10th-graders "earned sufficient credits to be on track for graduation" at higher rates than comparison, borough, and citywide groups. Descriptive comparison only; no effect size or significance test is printed.
"A higher percentage of the school's 9th- and 10th-grade students earned sufficient credits to be on track for graduation than their comparison group and borough and citywide counterparts."
