2018 Student Participation for Jefferson Middle School - Grades 6 and 8
Readers should exercise caution when reviewing results and comparing them to other results. There may be limitations to your results if participation in the survey was low. The following guidelines are recommended:
-
70% or greater participation - Results are probably representative of students in this grade
-
40 - 69% participation- Results may be representative of students in this grade.
-
Less than 40% participation - Results are likely not representative of students in this grade, but do reflect students who completed the survey.
There may be limitations to your results even if you have a high participation rate. For instance, a particular group of students may have been away from school the day of the survey and that could bias the results. It is important to acknowledge the potential limitations when using the results in this report.
The results reported are a summary of the survey questions presented to the students. If you have questions, or would like more information, please contact the Assessment Department at (360)596-8541.
