4. Historical performance of students: Grade 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10
This graph presents average performance data of grade 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 over all subjects. Performance decreased in the higher classes. In each grade girls outperform boys, however, the difference is larger in grade 4, 6, and 8 than in grade 2 and 10 (in grade 10 the difference between boys and girls is even smallest). For this analysis all available unique student IDs have been used, irrespective of what year the students were in a particular grade. It is important to note that students with a 0% performance have been excluded from this analysis. This data is perhaps consistent with international data in terms of the lower performance as the level of difficulty of each grade increases, however, it also may have implications in terms of pedagogy and curriculum adjustments for both the Middle School and the High School Program.
