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.
q3 i? Online charter students have 35 and 118 fewer days of learning than average TPS VCRs in reading and math, and trail brick-and-mortar charter students by 41 days in reading and 89 days in math. → CREDO 2019

q3 · i? · causal · r2
Delivery-system comparison across roughly 10,000 online charter students in six online campuses versus brick-and-mortar charters and statewide average TPS VCRs; online students also lagged brick-and-mortar peers by 41 days in reading and 89 in math.
"students attending online charter schools have weaker growth in both reading and math compared to the average TPS VCRs. The gap translates to 35 and 118 fewer days of learning for online charter students in reading and math, respectively."
