On Demand Adaptive Literacy Test Results

Box & Whisker data

1. There are 4 quartiles. The middle 50% are in the box.
    The whiskers contain 25% each.
    Outliers are indicated by a dot- but they are still considered part of the 25%
2. We are looking for difference.
  1. Look for an increase or decrease in the 5 number summary. Make sure you check the scale ofthe x axis.
    i.e – minimum, q1, median, q3, maximum
    q1 & q3 are the upper and lower edges of the box – therefore the boundaries of the middle 50%
  2. You are also looking for a change in the spread. Both of these things combined indicate there has been a change in the data.
3. Raw data is the full list of students with two values to measure. A result for Nov 2014 and a result for 2015.
  
Plot 2 -2 removed is the data with students who have dropped 2 years indicating they may need to be retested to see if they were just not trying.
Plot 3 10+ are the students who started at least 1 year above their reading level, and are therefore of little concern. Be very careful reading these graphs as the scale is likely to be different and changes may actually be insignificant, even when they are outliers. This will usually be the top 25% or thereabouts.
Plot 4 10- Are students who started at a level which was appropriate for year 9 (for Year 9 this would be 8).
