Notes
- 1.
These aspects can be deduced from the analysis of some measures of the central tendency and dispersion. Specifically, the average age of the native students involved is equal to 12.08, with a standard deviation of 1.615 and a modal value of 13. Within the range 7–16 years the distribution appears substantially concentrated in the vicinity of the central values, so that the first quartile corresponds to 11 years, the second (middle) to 12 and the third corresponds to 13.

In this case, we have included the non-response values in relation to the question about gender. Given the significant proportion of students who have failed to respond to this question (396) and the importance of this information for the purposes of our analysis, the aim was to understand if the non-responses were more frequent among 7–11-year-old children or 12–16-year-old children. However, the non-responses seem to occur at a very similar rate within the two identified age groups. The 75 students that failed to respond to this question were excluded from the analysis.

The data relating to these aspects should be treated with caution when compared to the data from the questionnaires administered to immigrant/Roma students. This is due to two reasons: first, the margin of error which is inevitably found in a survey of this type, and second the fact that within the total sample of questionnaires administered (immigrants and natives) there are a number of classes that do not have immigrant and Roma students.

This aspect justifies the differences in data concerning the composition of classes found in the administered questionnaires to immigrant/Roma students when compared to those directed to native children.
