Notes
6. High school science classes that are taught by a highly qualified teacherIncludes the percentage of secondary science courses taught by a “Highly Qualified Teacher” (HQT), as federally defined. Children Now analysis of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Core and Compliant Classes by Subject Area, 2011–12 and 2015–16, from California Department of Education DataQuest (July 2016).
NA (Not Available)Data that are not available are noted as NA. The most frequent reasons for NAs include the unavailability of longitudinal data, fewer than 10 cases (low number events), and statistically unstable estimates.
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.
