st: statistics for impact of treatment on a single school

[David Airey <david.airey@vanderbilt.edu>]

I was interviewing my kids for a small school (200 kids, K-8th grade).  
The school adds changes to its teaching programs to try to alter  
standardized testing scores and also in class performance. They use a  
set of self-paced programs the kids sit at weekly to provide the  
teachers and principal feedback. They plot summary statistics by  
semester and year and grade to discern effects of introducing new  
programs. I'm not sure what granularity of data they below these  
levels, but I assume they might have weekly feedback per student from  
the self-administered program they use. Anyway, is it possible to  
statistically test for effects of programmatic changes in a school  
this small and essentially 1 class per grade?
