NAEP Technical DocumentationResponse Rates of Fourth-Grade School Sample by Participating Jurisdiction

The following table presents counts for sample eligible schools and unweighted and weighted response rates for fourth grade. States with TUDA districts are shown in multiple rows: for the TUDA district(s) and for the state as a whole (the TUDA district(s) plus the rest of the state). The weighted response rates use the frame student enrollment divided by the school probability of selection. The weighted aggregation for the eligible schools for each jurisdiction is an estimate of the total population of students in the grade within each jurisdiction.

Unweighted and weighted response rate of sample-eligible schools, grade 4 state assessment, by jurisdiction: 2005
