So, what does this all mean?

• Are there any predictors of success in mathematics? If so, what do they appear to be?

• Discuss the comparison of performance between students that have been here for 4 years, or those of different nationalities or

• Are we as a school properly addressing the needs of all of our students?

• What additional data would be helpful?
