2 State Summary National Assessments National Assessment of Educational Progress The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas, serving as the Nation s Report Card. Assessments are conducted periodically in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics, geography, and U.S. history. Beginning in 2014, students in fourth and eighth grades will also be tested in technology and engineering literacy. Nationally, students have been making consistent, modest gains on NAEP tests. s students have scored at or below the national average for naep reading and math in fourth and eighth grades over the past 10 years. Scores from Mississippi and Massachusetts are provided to highlight s performance in relation to consistently low and high performing states.

3 results Gaps NAEP assessments are administered uniformly using the same sets of test booklets across the nation, allowing NAEP results to serve as a common metric of student achievement for all states. NAEP proficiency standards are viewed as representative of college and career ready expectations and can provide a benchmark for states that may have historically set proficiency standards too low. As proficiency standards are set for new assessments, NAEP results can help states gauge current levels of student achievement in relation to what levels of student achievement may look like when new standards and assessments are fully implemented. s proficiency rates on the 2013 naep are lower than on the 2013 crct, with differences in proficiency rates ranging as high as 66 percent. 98 percent of eighth-graders scored proficient or above on CRCT reading 32 percent of eighth-graders scored proficient or above on NAEP reading Percent Proficient math, Grade 4 math, Grade 8 reading, Grade 4 reading, Grade 8 criterion-referenced competency test naep results Gap International Assessments Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is conducted every four years in fourth and eighth grade; more than 60 nations participate.

Florida did participate in TIMSS, and both it and scored similarly on NAEP. Therefore, some comparison can be drawn between the two. Florida s eighth-grade math score is 13 points above the TIMSS scale average, four points above the U.S. average, and 100 points below Korea, the top scoring country. Of the nine states, Florida (513) scored better than California (493) and Alabama (466), but trailed Massachusetts (561), Minnesota (545), North Carolina (537), Indiana (522), Colorado (518), and Connecticut (518).

For eighth-grade reading and math, Hispanic students proficiency rates have increased over 30 percent since The white-black achievement gap has also decreased since 2003, but black students still have proficiency rates up to 17 percent lower than white students. The economic achievement gap has decreased since on eighth-grade reading assessments, proficiency rates for low-income students (Frl Eligible) increased 26 percent, compared to 10 percent for students who were not from low-income backgrounds. Students who are not low-income have proficiency rates higher than any racial group.

The achievement gaps have closed only slightly over the past 10 years. The white-hispanic achievement gap decreased by five points, and the white-black achievement gap decreased by four points. the difference in scores is greater between income levels than between racial groups. Low-income students scored 28 points lower on NAEP fourth-grade reading assessments than students who are not low-income. 4 State Data Summary

5 high School achievement achievement trends SAT Scores Since the spring of 2005, the SAT has been composed of three sections reading, writing, and math. Each section is worth 800 points, for a combined 2400 maximum score. The SAT benchmark score of 1550 is associated with a 65 percent probability of obtaining a first-year GPA of B- or higher, which in turn is associated with a high likelihood of college success including higher rates of retention and degree completion. s average SAT score in 2013 was 1452, a 15 point decrease from 2006 and 46 points below the national average SAT Mean Score Nation With a current participation rate of 75 percent, the Sat is s most popular college admission test. nationally, 50 percent of students take the Sat. ACT Scores The ACT has benchmark scores for each subject English, math, reading, and science which represent the level of achievement required for students to have a 50 percent chance of obtaining a B or higher or about a 75 percent chance of obtaining a C or higher in typical first-year college courses in those subjects. When averaged, the benchmark scores result in a 21.3 composite benchmark score. though still slightly below the national average, s average composite score has increased 0.5 points compared to a 0.2 point decrease nationally since ACT Mean Score Nation At the same time, s participation in the ACT has increased from 30 percent in 2006 to 51 percent in The national participation rate in 2013 was 54 percent.

6 State Summary Graduation Rates The average graduation rate is at an all-time high for and the nation. The graduation rate was calculated using the Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR) method. For example, the graduation rate is calculated by the following formula: (# of students graduating in 2012) (# of 9 th -graders in SY) + (new students) (students who transferred or died) High School Graduation Rate 67% 79% 7 Nation Nation achievement Gaps SAT Scores Students of color are less likely to score at or above the benchmark score, indicating a lower probability of being successful in college. White students scored nearly 100 points higher in each section than their black peers. Black and white students are overrepresented in the percentage of SAT participants, while Hispanic students are underrepresented. Average combined scores for students of color are below the SAT benchmark score of SAT Scores By Race, White Black Hispanic Reading Math Writing Benchmark Graduation Rates Students of color and low-income students are less likely to graduate compared to the state average, using ACGR. Graduation rates for students of color and low-income students are nearly 20 percent lower than graduation rates for white students. The state graduation rate for each selected demographic group is lower than the national average by about 10 percent.

7 college and career achievement trends The Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University created a report that looks forward to the year 2020 and predicts the state of the American economy. The Georgetown projections provide information regarding the education requirements needed to gain employment in Current national levels of postsecondary education will need to increase by four percent to meet the 2020 projection of 65 percent. As of 2012, 60 percent of adults have more than a high school degree. This is five percent less than the Georgetown prediction of 65 percent more than 3.3 million of jobs that will require postsecondary education in In, yearly median earnings are nearly $17,000 more for people with a bachelor s degree than those with only a high school degree. achievement Gaps Master's or Professional Degree Bachelor's Degree Some college, associate's degree, or vocational certificate High School or Less Efforts to increase the average level of educational attainment will need to focus on specific populations that have low rates of degree attainment and college completion. Within the current adult population, communities of color are less likely to have college degrees. This trend seems likely to continue as current students of color have lower college graduation rates. White adults are more than twice as likely as hispanic adults to have a college degree, but six-year graduation rates are higher for hispanic students than any other demographic group. $70,000 $60,000 $50,000 $40,000 $30,000 $20,000 $10,000 $- One in four students at four-year colleges graduates on time, but over half graduate within six years. Black students have the lowest graduation rates. s college graduation rates are below the national average.
