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? In each of its first five years, the Kauffman School had positive, statistically significant, and educationally meaningful impacts on student achievement growth in mathematics, English language arts and science, beyond the growth achieved by students in other Kansas City public schools. → Matthew Johnson 2017

q2 · i? · causal · r?
Evaluation impact report (executive summary) of the Ewing Marion Kauffman School, prepared by Mathematica Policy Research for the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, comparing student achievement growth to that of students in other Kansas City public schools. The report states the school had "positive, statistically significant, and educationally meaningful impacts" in mathematics, English language arts and science in each of its first five years. No effect sizes or sample sizes are printed in the summary.
"In each of its first five years, the Kauffman School had positive, statistically significant, and educationally meaningful impacts on student achievement growth in mathematics, English language arts and science, beyond the growth achieved by students in other Kansas City public schools."
