Subclaims¶
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? Core GPAs of first-time freshmen at CHSRI schools were slightly higher than those of similar students at similar non-CHSRI schools, statistically significant in most years, but averaged between about 1.7 and 1.9, below a C. → Susan Sporte 2010

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Comparative analysis of freshman core GPA for CHSRI versus matched non-CHSRI students. The report notes the difference, "although very small, is large enough that it is statistically significant" in most years; no effect size is printed.
"Over time, core GPAs for first-time freshmen at CHSRI schools have been slightly higher than those earned by similar students at similar non-CHSRI schools, averaging between about 1.7 and 1.9, which is slightly less than a C average"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Freshmen in the three case-study schools had higher on-track rates and/or GPAs than similar students at similar schools, despite entering with below-average achievement — related

- Outcome differences between CHSRI new-start and redesigned schools were not statistically significant after accounting for incoming student differences — related
- CHSRI freshman on-track rates were typically higher than similar students' but the difference was not statistically significant and converged by 2007-08 — related
