13. Stanine A stanine is a standardized score with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 2. They range from 1 to 9. There are two kinds of stanines, (a) School intake: To categorize schools into groups with a similar intake, the average AAI was calculated of all students in all schools at the S5 level and the average core 3 was calculated of all students in all schools at the S7 level. (b) School value-added estimates: To categorize schools into groups with similar value-added
