NAEP Technical DocumentationResponse and Exclusion Rates for Grade 8 Mathematics in 2003

The following table displays the school- and student-level response and exclusion rates for the grade 8 mathematics assessment. Various weights were used in the calculation of the rates, as indicated in the column headings of the table.

Response and exclusion rates, grade 8 mathematics assessment, by geographic domain: 2003

Domain	Number of schools in the original sample, rounded	School participation rates (%) before substitution (weighted by base weight and enrollment)	School participation rates (%) before substitution (weighted by base weight only)	School participation rates (%) after substitution (weighted by base weight and enrollment)	School participation rates (%) after substitution (weighted by base weight only)	Number of students sampled, rounded	Weighted percent of students excluded	Weighted student participation rates (%) after make-ups	Weighted percent of assessed students accommodated
