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.

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Study 1's two-level weighted regression models predicted standardized MCAS scores in ELA and Math in Grades 3 to 8 and weighted GPA in Grades 6 to 8, with propensity score weights making treatment and control groups statistically equivalent at baseline. The article reports "strong and positive impacts on both MCAS ELA and Math as well as GPA in almost every grade." No standardized effect size is printed for these middle school impacts.

"However, for middle school outcomes, City Connects had strong and positive impacts on both MCAS ELA and Math as well as GPA in almost every grade"
