who feel highly connected to their school. WestEd analysis of the California
Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), including estimates by race
and ethnicity, which includes the following questions asked to create a composite
indicator: “How strongly do you agree or disagree with the following statements
about your school: I feel close to people at this school; I am happy to be at
this school; I feel like I am part of this school; the teachers at this school
treat students fairly; I feel safe in my school” (August 2016). Counties with low participation will not have
data because WestEd was unable to obtain reliable estimates.
Footnotes:
Asterisks*
An asterisk indicates that data
should be interpreted with caution. Asterisks were used to note low number of
events (fewer than 10) or unstable data with large confidence intervals. Data
or estimates with low numbers and large confidence intervals indicate that a
data point may not be a true representation of the larger population.
NA (Not Available)
Data that are not available are noted as NA. The most
frequent reasons for using the NA annotation include the unavailability of
longitudinal data, data suppression from the original data source due to a low
number event, or statistically unstable estimates.
