10 currdenom

Current year number of valid students who took the Smarter Balanced summative assessment in Math

For Students With Disabilities (SWD) student group only, students who have a current disability code in California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data Systems (CALPADS) or was a student with disability who exited a special education program and did not receive services for up to two years (i.e., exited after April 15, 2016). These students’ scores are used to calculate the Distance from Standard.

Integer
