Outline of Final Research Achievements	This research suggests the new indicator of socioeconomic status (SES) that impact the scores of the national achievement survey. Many researchers suggested the strong links between academic achievement and SES. However, the indicator of SES is often omitted in Japan's national achievement survey. Therefore, researchers could not indicate the relationship between the test scores and SES. In this research, we solved this problem by using national public data as an alternative indicator of SES. This new method makes it easier to analyze the results of the national achievement survey based on the SES, examines the disparities inside the big cities, and compares the towns among the various possibilities. This paper opens up new opportunities to new researches.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	日本国内の学力調査では、社会経済的背景に関するデータが採られていないことが多く、従来は、社会経済的背景を踏まえた分析を行うことは容易ではなかった。しかし、本研究では、学力調査の結果に関する新たな分析手法を開発することで、社会経済的背景を踏まえた分析を行うことを容易にし、大都市内部の格差の分析や、都市間の比較など、様々な応用可能性に道を開いた。
