— Not available; data not collected. Jurisdictions that had their own educational assessment programs submitted the results for each school in their district; these data files were processed in order to select one achievement measure that could be used in stratification for each jurisdiction and grade. For instances in which achievement data was not available or usable, median household income served as the implicit school stratification variable.
