SCHOOLIO: Districts

Step 1				Step 2				Step 3
Get Mean Scale Score from line numbers in this data file.				Subtract 'met min' Scale Score. from Mean Scale Score to get Distance From Standard				Multiply Distance From Standard by proportion of students in grade.
Grade	Line number	Mean Scale Score	-	Scale Score: met min	=	Distance from standard	*	(Students tested in grade	/	Students) tested in school	=	Weighted Distance From Standard
11	585473	2527	-	2628	=	-101	*	(	/	)	=
Step 4	SUM Weighted Distance From Standard to get 2015 Difference From Standard for Upper Lake Union High

Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and add to the average:

Simply compute the standard deviation and multiply by 3 and subtract from the average:

NOT what school board members want.

NOT what superintendents want.

But that's not what it "wants"...and it's not a coincidence this pattern repeats (repeatedly).
