“ The gap in achievement between students of different racial or ethnic backgrounds may be narrowing, but according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, it remains a serious challenge. Results from the NAEP’s 2013 assessment of fourth-grade reading tell the story:
• All student groups have made gains since the early 1990s, and the achievement gap between white and black students has narrowed by some 6 points since then. Still, gaps remain (see chart, page 2).
• 46 percent of white fourth-graders and 51 percent of Asian/Pacific Islander fourth-graders read at or above the level NAEP defines as proficient.
• Only 18 percent of black students and 20 percent of Hispanic students read at or above the proficient level.”
