Do socioeconomic or other demographic factors of a school’s student population impact progress?
Leading experts have shown student demographic variables have no significant relationship with student progress measures. This may be because value-added analysis measures the change in student’s academic achievement levels from one point in time to another (i.e., year-to-year), and factors that remain relatively constant over time, such as socioeconomic status, have shown little or no impact on student progress.
