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? Longitudinal student-level data allow examination of entry and exit of students in KIPP middle schools and comparison of attrition and replacement rates with nearby district-run schools. → Ira Nichols-Barrer 2012

- KIPP middle schools admit students disadvantaged in ways similar to other local students — related
- In the vast majority of 22 KIPP middle schools, impacts on students' state assessment scores in math and reading are positive, statistically significant, and educationally substantial — related
