NAEP Technical DocumentationCalculation of Final Student Weights

The final (full-sample) student weight (FSTUWGT_jsk) for student k in school s in jurisdiction j is computed as the product of the student base weight (STUWGT_jsk), the student nonresponse adjustment (STNRADJ_jk), and the student trimming factor (STU_TRIM_jk) as follows:

FSTUWGT_jsk = STUWGT_jsk × STNRADJ_jk × STU_TRIM_jk
