currnsizemet

Schools and LEAs that had at least 30 students in the current status denominator have met the ‘N-size’ requirement and will receive a ‘Y’ (i.e., Yes) in this field. The ‘N-size’ of 30 is used to ensure that accountability results are statistically significant, valid, and reliable. Schools and LEAs with fewer than 30 students in the current status denominator will receive an ‘N’ (i.e., No) in this field. At the LEA level for the Foster, Homeless, and Long-Term English Learner student groups, a 'N-size' of at least 15 is required to receive a 'Y'.
