N-Size in ESSA State Plans

Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states are responsible for setting the minimum number of students needed to form a student subgroup for federal accountability and reporting purposes. This required student subgroup size is commonly referred to as the state-set “n-size.” This chart includes the state-set n-size for accountability and reporting purposes found in ESSA state plans approved by the U.S. Department of Education and updates information from our 2016 report Ensuring Equity in ESSA: The Role of N-Size in Subgroup Accountability.
