NAEP Technical DocumentationSchool Nonresponse Adjustment Factor Calculation for the 2006 Assessment

In each final school nonresponse adjustment cell c, the school nonresponse adjustment factor SCH_NRAF_c was computed as follows:

where

• S_c is the set of all eligible sampled schools (cooperating original and substitute schools, and refusing original schools with noncooperating or no assigned substitute) in cell c;

• R_c is the set of all cooperating schools within S_c;

• SCH_BWT_cs is the inverse of the school probability of selection;

• SCH_TRIM_s is the school-level weight trimming adjustment factor;

• SCHSESWT_s is the school-level session assignment weight; and

•  X_s is the estimated grade enrollment corresponding to the original sampled school.
