10: Summative Statement
What You
Are Looking At
This field
summarizes some key features within the data presented on the two pages. The comments note
when high degrees of certain demographic characteristics were noted. Low participation in
the state assessments receive comment. When a school experienced extenuating circumstances
that may have affected their data – switching from an elementary to a middle school,
a population surge, a damaging fire – such circumstances are noted here. RIDE
recognizes that it may have inadvertently missed some special circumstances.
