These are the schools where raw test performance and decoded performance disagree most. The shift column shows the gap between Achievement Rank and Decoded Rank.
Raw scores are modest, but decoded performance is strong — these schools are doing more than their context predicts.

Raw scores are high, but the school's advantaged context predicts even higher — raw scores may overstate the school's effect.
