Data averaging
pools students across grade levels at the school - year level, and / or across years at the school - grade level, increasing the number of observations and, consequently, the chance of getting to the minimum n - size.
Pooling data across years and grades will include most students in accountability systems, but for lower enrollment populations, pooling across racial / ethnic groups may provide an opportunity to include students in accountability systems in cases where subgroup size is otherwise too
