Which choice would be least appropriate to include in a PE performance data report intended for school administrators?

• A. Aggregate class scores
• B. Overall trend analysis
• C. Individual student names
• D. Participation rates

Answer: (C)

The main idea is reporting PE data in a way that supports school decisions while protecting student privacy. For administrators, data should be aggregated and non-identifiable so trends and program impact can be evaluated without exposing individual students.

Including the names of individual students would reveal private information. Even in administrative reports, personal identifiers can create privacy risks and potential bias or stigmatization. Using anonymized or coded data allows you to analyze performance, participation, and trends across groups (classes, grades, or the entire school) while keeping students' identities secure.

That’s why the best choice is the one that avoids individual identifiers and focuses on aggregate information like class or group scores, overall trend analysis, and participation rates. These formats provide actionable insights for shaping the PE program and allocating resources without compromising privacy.
