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.
q3 i? In the first full year of CCSPP implementation, grantee schools improved chronic absence rates at least 30% more than matched comparison schools, varying by subgroup and school level. → Swain 2025
Evidence¶
Swain 2025¶
Swain, W., Leung-Gagné, M., Maier, A., & Rubinstein, C. (2025). Community schools impact on student outcomes: Evidence from California. Learning Policy Institute. https://doi.org/10.54300/541.498
q3 · i? · causal · r2
Matched difference-in-differences analysis of California administrative data (2018-19 to 2023-24) comparing 458 first-cohort CCSPP schools with matched controls; the report states grantee schools showed "at least a 30% larger improvement in chronic absence rates" than comparison schools.
"Using matched comparison schools with similar pre-implementation characteristics and trends, we find that CCSPP schools demonstrated at least a 30% larger improvement in chronic absence rates (depending on student subgroup and school level) compared to similar schools."
