  • Summary

    The common practice of disaggregating student data by singular demographic fields such as race, English learner, or disability status can lead to flawed conclusions or reinforce harmful stereotypes. The Academic Support Index (ASI) provides an alternative lens for looking at student data by considering the interaction of seven common demographic fields and their relationship to academic achievement. The ASI has a strong association with outcomes including standardized assessments, grade point average, and postsecondary outcomes. This chapter will provide a history of the development of the ASI and its statistical foundation. Additionally, examples of how the ASI has been used to analyze data, identify students for support, design interventions, and evaluate programs are provided. The ASI has the potential to be an important tool in addressing both achievement and opportunity gaps.
