NAEP Technical Documentation Participation, Exclusion, and Accommodation Rates for Grade 8 U.S. History for the 2014 Assessment

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

The participation rates reflect the participation of the original sampled schools only and do not reflect any effect of substitution. The rates weighted by the school base weight and enrollment show the approximate proportion of the student population in the domain that is represented by the responding schools in the sample. These rates differ because schools differ in size.
