Notes• Some Recommendations for Consideration • The data are displayed without statistical analyses for the viewers
interpretation.• Suggestions include looking at the scores (scale scores and percentages)
for irregularities—low or high scores/percentages. If it seems high, look at its rank compared to other districts (Branford’s reference group). A high magnitude score/percentage with a rank in the top 33% rankings (ordinal values 1-8) needs little added value. Or that same seemingly high score could well have a low rank (ordinal values 17-24)—meaning, while we scored well, others did also or we stayed the same or fell back—so we might want to be concerned. That also applies to seeming low scores and their rankings with reverse implications.
• Since time series data suggests a trend, it is also noteworthy to judge whether the trend is upward, flat, or downward and judge that relative to the complimentary rankings.
• Lastly, moving averages (2, 4, and 6 year) are simple to calculate and reveal trends over time or simple regression to the mean as the factors. Branford data sets have had some unusual extreme lows and direction changes producing values that seem to require explanation.
