N-Size in ESSA State Plans Updated
Alliance for Excellent Education
Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states are responsible for setting the minimum number of students needed to form a student subgroup for federal accountability and reporting purposes. This required student subgroup size is commonly referred to as the state-set "n-size." The accountability n-size affects action by influencing how many students receive additional support if they demonstrate low performance. Meanwhile, the reporting n-size affects "information" by influencing the number of students upon which public information on school performance is based. States should set their n-size as low as possible to maximize the number of students eligible for support and included in public information about school performance. This will ensure that states identify student subgroups with low academic performance and/or low high school graduation rates and provide targeted support to the schools those students attend. The chart in this report updates information from the 2016 Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) report "Ensuring Equity in ESSA: The Role of N-Size in Subgroup Accountability."
