• Compares the performance of students among different teachers based upon the following criteria; gender, special needs including primary exceptionality, limited English, economic status, migrant status, ethnicity, RTI tier, RTI enrollment date, RTI interventionist, absence rate, feeder school, school type, course failures, and others.
