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

The following table presents unweighted and weighted response rates for sample-eligible eighth-grade schools. States with TUDA districts are shown in multiple rows: one for each TUDA district and one 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 in the numerator and denominator. 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 rates for sampled public schools, grade 8 state assessment, by jurisdiction: 2005
