Academic Success Factors in K-12 Education: A Quantitative Analysis
Track: Administration and Policy
Authors: Brianna Chew

In this study, we analyze the reasons as to why students receive certain test scores and how students and school educators can potentially control these factors to improve academic success. A sample of ACT and SAT test scores from the California Department of Education is used to perform statistical tests to understand the influencing factors such as students’ demographics and their socioeconomic status. Data visualization is done using ESRI ArcGIS Online. <br />
