Data/Understanding the EDI results/General
Results 
Each of the five domains on the EDI is scored on a scale of
0-10 with 0 being the
lowest score and 10 being the highest score. A higher score
indicates that
children are more ready to learn at school. The EDI average
score for each
domain is based on the answers/scores to the individual questions
included in
each respective domain.
EDI results are also reported in terms of percentiles ranging
from 0-100 with 0
being the lowest percentile and 100 being the highest percentile.
Similar to the
above scale, a higher percentile indicates that children are
more ready to learn
than children in a lower percentile.
Vulnerable (Not on Track - Below the
10th Percentile)
top
Children who scored below the 10th percentile have EDI scores
that fall into the
lowest range of all scores for the whole community and as such
are considered to
be “not on track” and “vulnerable” with
regards to school readiness to learn. For
the purpose of neighbourhood interpretations, one should expect
that each
neighbourhood have approximately the same percentage of children
scoring
below the 10th percentile as the City of Ottawa. Neighbourhoods
that have more
children scoring below the 10th percentile than the City of
Ottawa are not doing
as well as expected and neighbourhoods that have less children
scoring below
the 10th percentile than the City of Ottawa are doing better
than expected.
At Risk (Not on Track - Between the
10th and 25th Percentiles)
top
Children who scored between the 10th and 25th percentiles have
EDI scores that
fall into the lower range of all scores for the whole community
and as such are
considered to be “not on track” and “at risk”
with regards to school readiness to
learn. For the purpose of neighbourhood interpretations, one
should expect that
each neighbourhood have approximately the same percentage of
children
scoring between the 10th and 25th percentiles as the City of
Ottawa.
Neighbourhoods that have more children scoring between the 10th
and 25th
percentiles than the City of Ottawa are not doing as well as
expected and
neighbourhoods that have less children scoring between the 10th
and 25th
percentiles than the City of Ottawa are doing better than expected.
Ready for School (On Track - Between
the 25th and 75th Percentiles)
top
Children who scored between the 25th and 75th percentiles have
EDI scores that
fall into the middle 50% of all scores for the whole community
and as such are
considered to be “on track” and “ready for
school”. For the purpose of
neighbourhood interpretations, one should expect that each neighbourhood
have
approximately the same percentage of children scoring between
the 25th and 75th
percentiles as the City of Ottawa. Neighbourhoods that have
less children
scoring between the 25th and 75th percentiles than the City
of Ottawa are not
doing as well as expected and neighbourhoods that have more
children scoring
between the 25th and 75th percentiles than the City of Ottawa
are doing better
than expected.
Very Ready for School (On Track - Above
the 75th Percentile)
top
Children who scored above the 75th percentile have EDI scores
that fall into the
top 25% of all scores for the whole community and as such are
considered to be
“on track” and “very ready for school”.
For the purpose of neighbourhood
interpretations, one should expect that each neighbourhood have
approximately
the same percentage of children scoring above the 75th percentile
as the City of
Ottawa. Neighbourhoods that have less children scoring above
the 75th
percentile than the City of Ottawa are not doing as well as
expected and
neighbourhoods that have more children scoring above the 75th
percentile than
the City of Ottawa are doing better than expected.
