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? · associational · r2
Linear association models (described in Technical Appendix) testing school context variables against proportion of student body designated LTEL7, controlling for total school population, SES, ever-EL percentage, and grade levels served. Results shown in Table A1.
"Controlling for all of these factors, the schools with greater concentrations of LTEL7 students had higher chronic absenteeism rates, lower graduation rates, and lower shares of teachers with full certification in the subjects they were teaching."
