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? The SCI difference between BTO and chronically underperforming schools (68 percentiles) was more than twice the difference between BTO and other schools (33 percentiles). → Voight 2013

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Observational analysis of the same 1,715-school California sample, comparing School Climate Index percentiles across the 40 BTO schools and the 20 chronically underperforming schools. The report states "The difference in SCI between BTO and CU schools was more than twice as large: 68 percentiles (82nd and 14th, respectively)."
"The difference in SCI between BTO and CU schools was more than twice as large: 68 percentiles (82nd and 14th, respectively)."

Related Claims¶
- School climate differences between BTO and chronically underperforming schools are twice as large as differences between BTO and other schools — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Beating-the-odds schools have substantially more positive school climate than the other California middle and high schools in a 1,715-school survey sample — related
- School climate differences between BTO and other schools remain large and significant after adjusting for student demographics and personnel resources — related
- Only 2.4 percent of the sampled California secondary schools were classified as beating the odds, and 1.2 percent as chronically underperforming — related
