Abstract: The purpose of this technical appendix is to describe the sample and methods used to create the brief "Unequal Access to 8th-Grade Algebra: How School Offerings and Placement Practices Limit Opportunity." This brief adds a recent, national-scale, student-level perspective to our understanding of current inequities in 8th grade Algebra access. This study uses a unique dataset collected by NWEA of 162 thousand students in 22 states that combines 2023-24 math 8th grade course enrollment information with student demographic characteristics and prior achievement.
