NAEP Technical DocumentationSchool Response Rates for the 2006 Civics Assessment

The following table shows school response rates for the 2006 civics assessment by grade and school type (public, Catholic, non-Catholic private). Results are shown both before and after the substitute schools were recruited for originally sampled nonresponding schools. The table includes unweighted counts and percentages and weighted percentages using the school base weight multiplied by the estimated grade enrollment.
