1The first Illinois estimate listed is based on 1999-2000 data, and the standard that 83 percent of students meet improvement over time. This study includes an adjustment for efficiency. The second estimate is based on 2000 data only, and the standard that 67 percent of pupils meet or exceed the standard and 50 percent do so on all tests. There is no adjustment for efficient spending.
2The two Maryland estimates represent different estimates from the two professional-judgment panels convened for the study.
3These three estimates listed for New York represent the results of setting different outcome standards on 200 point index. The estimates for each of the three standards include only the costs for districts below the target performance standard for the 1999-2000 school year.
4These two estimates listed for New York show the differences within a single study as a result of using two different cost indices. The estimate using the New York Regional Cost Index was $13,420, and the estimate using the Geographic Cost of Education Index was $12,679.
5The two estimates provided for Texas are based on a 55 and 70 percent passing standard. Estimates include food and transportation costs.
6The authors of this study provided a range of values for the cost estimate based on the margin of error of the statistical method used. The two values listed represent the high and the low estimates.
