q2 · i? · design · r2
Descriptive analysis of California Department of Education DataQuest CAASPP data for Lynwood schools, 2022–23 through 2024–25, shown in Figures 1 and 2. The report counts schools with increases: "11 of the 12 elementary schools" in English language arts and 10 in math. No effect size or significance test is printed.
"Compared to the year before they became community schools (2022–23), 11 of the 12 elementary schools have increased the percentage of students meeting or exceeding the English language arts proficiency standard, while 10 have done the same in math"
