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	2758606	0	-	2628	=		*	(4	/	4)	=
Step 4	SUM Weighted Distance From Standard to get 2015 Difference From Standard for Ark Independent Studies

2016

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	83920	0	-	2628	=		*	(1	/	1)	=
Step 4	SUM Weighted Distance From Standard to get 2016 Difference From Standard for Ark Independent Studies

2017

Step 1				Step 2				Step 3

Compute the average

2015	2016	2017	2018	2019	Sum	Average
					0.0	0.0

Compute the Upper Control Limit

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

Compute the Lower Control Limit

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

For the lines, you have the data necessary to plot the chart.
