4 MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS District wide Assessment Results EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Overall, all of the students in the district made larger gains over the school year than in previous years on the Kindergarten literacy measures. All ethnic groups except White students made gains in Phonemic Awareness. Gaps between students of color and White students decreased. All ethnic groups made gains in the Alphabetic Principle domain of literacy. There were significant increases in the percent of students from all ethnic groups that were able to read more than 10 words per minute by end of kindergarten. Forty-one percent of first graders met or exceeded the district standard (Level 3) for reading words per minute and reading expression. This was a higher rate of reading fluency compared to the past three years of 1 st grade assessment. Average NALT scale score performance in 2004 compared to national norms was higher in math than reading. Average math performance was above the national average for grades 2-5 but below average for grades 6, 7 and 9; reading was below the national scale score average for all grades. Reading growth for continuously enrolled students from 2003 to 2004 was below the national norm for all grades except grade 4. Math growth for continuously enrolled students from 2003 to 2004 was above the national norm for grades 4 and 5 but below the national norm for the remaining grades. The math and reading rates of growth for White students exceeded the rates for Students of Color. In other words, the gap between these groups increased from grade 3 through grade 7. White students started and ended at considerably higher levels. Average MCA scores in Grade 3 Reading have increased every year. Average MCA scores in Grade 3 Math decreased seven scale score points last year after four years of consecutive gains. Average MCA scores in Grade 5 Reading have leveled off and closely mirror 2003 scores. Average MCA scores in Grade 5 Math have increased for the past five years. Performance gaps to the standards for students of color, students in poverty, students receiving ELL and Special Ed services continue to remain large. Comparisons to the State of Minnesota MCA totals show similar gaps at the state level. Hispanic and White performance in MPS was higher than State Page 1Page 1

5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF FINDINGS (Continued from previous page) Key Findings From 2000 to 2004 the passing rate for 8 th grade reading declined 3% and math declined 6%. Seven additional items were added to the math test in 2004 possibly contributing to the lower passing rates. Of the 9 math content areas Measurement Concepts, Fractions, and Ratios/Percentages, had the lowest scores compared to state averages. In reading and math, passing rates for White Students were considerably higher than those for Students of Color. This gap was present but less pronounced for writing. All ethnic groups had lower math passing rates compared to Non-ELL students had much higher passing rates than ELL students. This was true for reading, math, and writing for all ethnic groups. For both math and reading, the largest decline in passing rates was noted for student receiving Special Education services. High Schools Readiness for graduation has continued to improve. As of October 2004, 39% of the graduating Class of 2004 had yet to pass one or more MBST area, up 1% from last year, and 26% were not on course with enough credits to graduate, down 9% from last year. About 55% of the Class of 2004 was credit ready and had passed all MBST areas as of October 2003, up 5% from last year. About half of Minneapolis grade 10 students scored at or above the benchmark of proficiency (Level 3 or above) on the high school MCA reading test, compared to 8 of students in the state. Forty-four percent of Minneapolis grade 11 students scored at Level 3 or above on the high school MCA mathematics test. This was about 25% below the percentage of students scoring at or above the proficiency level in the state (7). Ethnic groups varied in performance. White and Asian students had a higher percentage scoring at Level 3 or above on both tests, compared to Indian, African, and Hispanic students. The test performance of White students in MPS on the high school MCAs was comparable to the White students in the State, whereas the test performance of students of color in MPS was substantially behind the State. African students represent the largest ethnic group in Minneapolis Public Schools, and had the lowest percent of students scoring at Level 3 or above. Official graduation rates reported for NCLB increased from 73% to 78% for the 7 major High Schools. Total district graduation rates including all alternative schools increased from 51% to 57% Page 2Page 2

6 INTRODUCTION For the past several years, the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Board of Education has reached consensus around a District Improvement Agenda (DIA) that prioritizes and guides the work of the district. The District Improvement Agenda for included four main goals: a) accelerate achievement of all students, b) develop mutual trust and involvement with students, families, and the community, c) hold everyone accountable for student learning, and d) ensure efficient management of the district operations. This annual report on district wide assessment results focuses on the attainment of the first and broadest goal, that of accelerating the achievement of all students. To answer these objectives, results for most assessments are presented in at least two major ways: 1) current performance level, and 2) growth of continuously enrolled students. Current performance level summarizes test results for all Minneapolis students and is reported on several variables, such as ethnicity, home languages and educational program. Performance in is compared to previous years performance when available. The growth section reports achievement information on students who were continuously enrolled in the Minneapolis Public Schools across specified periods of time, usually across two testing periods. This section also reports results disaggregated by several variables. Page 3Page 3

7 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Cohort is defined as a group of students at a particular grade level. A cross-cohort analysis compares two different groups of students (for example, grade 3, 2004 vs. grade 3, 2003). The change in student performance of different cohorts is referred to as improvement rather than growth. Continuous enrollment is defined as those students who were enrolled for at least two testing periods, so that gain can be measured. Individual school gains were calculated using all students who were enrolled in the fall and the spring at the same school. District gains were calculated for students enrolled fall and spring in the district. English Language Learners (ELL) is the preferred term for students served in Limited English Proficiency programs. Most, but not all, English Language Learners have a non-english home language. Home language codes were used to differentiate the type of non-english language spoken in the home. General education students are those who receive neither Special Education nor Limited English Proficiency services. Median percentile is the national percentile corresponding to the score where half of the district s students score above and half score below a particular value. The national median percentile is 50. As a rough rule of thumb, districts that have a median percentile rank between 40 and 60 can be considered within the national median range. NCEs (Normal Curve Equivalents) place students percentile rankings on an equal-interval scale so that gains made at different points of the achievement distribution can be compared. NCEs, like percentiles, range from 1 to 99 with an average of 50. As a rough rule of thumb, districts that have an average NCE between 45 and 55 can be considered within the national average NCE range. Percentile rank indicates a student s relative standing. It is the percentage of students in the national norm group at the same grade that scored the same or lower than the student. For example a student with a percentile rank of 75 in reading exceeded 75% of the students in the norm group in reading. Rounding: Data in this report were rounded to the nearest whole number for percentages. Percentages of students by categories may not add to 10 due to rounding. Page 4Page 4

8 KINDERGARTEN ASSESSMENTS Key Findings: Overall, all of the students in the district made larger gains over the school year than in previous years on the literacy measures. All ethnic groups except White students made gains in Phonemic Awareness. Gaps between students of color and White students decreased. All ethnic groups made gains in the Alphabetic domain of literacy. There were significant increases in the percent of students from all ethnic groups that were able to read more than 10 words per minute by end of kindergarten. Students are coming into the district less well prepared than in past years. This is indicated by the lower percentages of students at the Level 2 predictor on all BKA measures. Lower initial skill level indicates that students may not be as well prepared for kindergarten as they have been in the past. Phonological Awareness Gains Decreased for Indian, African, Asian and Hispanic in vs Beginning of Kindergarten Assessments All kindergarten students enrolled in the Minneapolis Public Schools were assessed in September and October. This assessment was individually administered by the Early Childhood Cadre, a group of testers trained on its standardized administration using a standard set of materials. The Beginning Kindergarten Assessments measures literacy and numeracy skills. Items were selected to align with MPS Beginning of Kindergarten Expectations in Reading, the MPS Early Childhood Standards Birth to Kindergarten, and the National Research Council. The literacy assessment was revised in August of 2001 to include measures of phonemic awareness (rhyming and alliteration) and vocabulary (picture naming). Dr. Scott McConnel and the late Dr. Mary McEvoy developed the items added in 2001 at the University of Minnesota. They are in the public domain and can be found at For further information, contact Mary Pickart (mary.pickart@ mpls.k12.mn.us). Basic Literacy Benchmarks Literacy Benchmarks have been established for the Beginning and End of Kindergarten Assessments. Benchmarks are grouped into two domains: the alphabetic principle and phonemic awareness. The Alphabetic Principle Domain is calculated by adding the letter sound and letter naming scores. The Phonemic Awareness Domain is calculated by adding the rhyming and alliteration scores. Two levels of benchmarks have been calculated based on validity studies where Grade One Oral Reading Assessment data were used to predict Grade Three Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment proficiency and where Beginning and End of Kindergarten Assessment scores were used to predict Grade One Oral Reading Assessment proficiency. Table 1 below shows the benchmarks for each domain for beginning and end of kindergarten. Page 5Page 5

9 Table Literacy Benchmarks Scores that predict reading well at the end of first grade (Level 2 = 48 words per minute; Level 3 = 60 words per minute) Phonemic Awareness Alphabetic Principle Beginning of Kindergarten End of Kindergarten Level 2 Level 3 Level 2 Level The Level benchmarks correspond with reading proficiency at the end of first grade and with passing levels on the Grade Three Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment. The Level 2 benchmark corresponds with reading 48 words correctly at the end of first grade (MPS Oral Reading) and obtaining a score at level 2 on the MCA. Level Three benchmarks correspond with reading 60 words correctly at the end of first grade (MPS Oral Reading) and obtaining a score at level 3 on the MCA. Table 2 summarizes beginning kindergarten results on seven literacy and numeracy concepts. For each of the literacy items large differences by racial/ethnic group existed at the beginning of the year. For example, twice as many White students met the level two Phonemic Awareness benchmark as Hispanic and Asian students. In addition, three times as many White students met the level two Alphabetic Principle benchmark as Hispanic students.

Percentage of Kindergarten Students at Level 2 Benchmark for Phonemic Awareness- Fall Percent of Students Indian African Asian Hispanic White All Students Racial/ethnic gaps in the literacy area of phonemic awareness changed very little from the fall of 2001 to the fall of While approximately 8 of White students scored at the level two benchmark, less than 4 of African and Indian students scored at the level two benchmark. In addition, approximately 2 of the Asian and Hispanic students met the level two benchmark. It should be noted that these skills are assessed in English and that native language phonemic awareness is likely much higher for English Language Learners. Figure 2.

11 Figure 2 depicts the racial/ethnic trends for the alphabetic. In this case the percentage of students at the level 2 benchmark for 2004 has decreased slightly for all groups as compared to the previous years. The four-year trend for total literacy is graphed in Figure 3. All literacy areas were combined into a total score. Asian and Hispanic student readiness for Kindergarten has continued to increase from the fall of 2001 to the fall of Figure 3.

Gaps in numeracy are smaller than literacy as is expected for students who speak a language other than English at home. In general, Hmong and Spanish-speaking students had the lowest percentage of students meeting level benchmarks in literacy and numeracy.

12 End of Kindergarten Assessments The Early Childhood Cadre assessed all kindergarten students in April and May on literacy and numeracy skills. All of the measures administered in the fall were repeated in the spring. In addition, phoneme segmentation and passage reading were assessed. As with the beginning of Kindergarten measures, the Minneapolis Public Schools Grade Level Expectation guided the content of the assessment. Table 4 summarizes end of kindergarten results on eight literacy and numeracy concepts. While a greater percentage of White students are meeting level two and three benchmarks, on most literacy items in the spring of 2004, the gaps had narrowed significantly. In the area of Alphabetic Principle, a greater percentage of Asian students met the level three alphabetic principle benchmark than White students in the spring; African students also improved to levels much closer to White students.

15 ORAL READING ASSESSMENT Key Findings: Forty-one percent of first graders met or exceeded the district standard (Level 3) for reading words per minute and reading expression. This was a higher rate of reading fluency compared to the past three years of 1 st grade assessment. More White students than Students of Color met the district standards in the Oral Reading Assessments. Large gaps remain for students of color, especially for Hispanic students. All student groups continue to make gains in Oral Reading Fluency in the spring of 2004 compared to the spring of Students whose home language was English scored higher than students whose home language was not English. About the Assessments All students enrolled in first grade are assessed in the spring with the district-developed Oral Reading Assessment Students received scores on each of three reading dimensions: Standards Words per minute is the median number of words read correctly in one minute across three passages. The district standard is 60 words per minute for ending first graders. While efforts are made to keep the level of difficulty the same, the reading passages are not identical from year to year and may contribute to some fluctuation in scores. Reading expression is rated on a five-point scale with attention to phrasing, flow, and inflection. The three passages are averaged and the district standard is 3.3. Reading comprehension is based on student answers to literal and inferential questions asked after the students read each passage. Because the comprehension questions are not equivalent across passages or years, a district standard has not been set. Validity studies of the relationship between Oral Reading at the end of first grade and performance on the MCA reading test at the end of third grade found a high correlation between words correct in first grade and reading comprehension in third grade. Students who read 60 or more words correctly per minute at the end of first grade scored proficient (level 3 or better) on the MCA 8 of the time. Students who read 48 or more words correctly per minute at the end of first grades scored at level 2 or better on the MCA 9 of the time. Questions?

16 Overall Performance on the Oral Reading Assessment Performance on the Spring Oral Reading Assessment in first grade was the highest in 2004 compared to every year since the assessment was begun in The percentage of students reading at least 48 words correctly per minute grew another 4% in 2004 (see figure 7). In the past two years the percentage of students projected to score at level 2 or above on the 3 rd grade Reading MCA has increased from 46% to 54%.

The proportion of White students at the level two standard was approximately double that of Hispanic students (i.e. 74% White compared to 36% Hispanic). English Language Learners (ELL) had lower rates of fluency (words read correctly) and reading expression compared to students who were not receiving ELL services (see figure 10).

18 Reading fluency at the end of grade 1 in 2004 was higher than 2003 for every racial/ethnic group. Improvements of 7 percentage points were observed for Asian students. African and White student s scores increased 1 percentage point. Indian students improved by 2 percentage points and Hispanic students by 4 percentage points.

19 NORTHWEST ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS TESTS (NALT) Key Findings for Overall Performance: Average NALT scale score performance in 2004 compared to national norms was higher in math than reading. Average math performance was above the national average for grades 2-5 but below average for grades 6, 7 and 9; reading was below the national scale score average for all grades. Average reading scores were at or above the basic standard cut score (which projects passing the Minnesota Basic Skills Tests in 8 th grade) for all grades. Math scores were at or above the basic standard cut score except at grade 7 which was below. Average reading and math scores for Asian students was at or above the basic standard cut score for all grades. White students were considerably above the cut score at all grades for both reading and math. Reading performance as measured by scale scores and percentiles showed small positive increases from 2002 through 2004 for grades 2-4 and 7, 9. It remained steady at grades 5 and 6. Math performance increased from 2002 through 2004 for all grades Key Findings for Student Growth: Reading growth for continuously enrolled students from 2003 to 2004 was below the national norm for all grades except grade 4. Math growth for continuously enrolled students from 2003 to 2004 was above the national norm for grades 4 and 5 but below the national norm for the remaining grades. Reading growth from 2003 to 2004 was similar to the growth from 2002 to 2003 for grades 3 and 7, showed an increase in grade 4 and a decrease in grades 5 and 6. For math, growth increased for grades 3-5 but decreased for grades 6 and 7. Hispanic, White and Asian students made the most growth in reading and math. Continuously enrolled students remained steady in their standing with respect to the basic standard reading and were above the math cut scores (projects passing the Minnesota Basic Skills Tests in 8 th grade) as students progressed from grade 3 through grade 7. Continuously enrolled students were below the high standards for all grades except 7 for reading. In math, continuously enrolled students were below the high standards for grades 3-4 but at or above for grades 5-7. The math and reading rates of growth for White students exceeded the rates for Students of Color. In other words, the gap between these groups increased from grade 3 through grade 7. White students started and ended at considerably higher levels. Page 16Page 16

20 About the Assessments The Northwest Achievement Levels Tests (NALT) were given district wide in March to students in grades 2 through 7 and 9 in reading and math. The NALT measurement system serves multiple purposes: a) to measure students knowledge and skills with respect to the Minneapolis curriculum standards; b) to compare individual and aggregate student growth in learning to national user norms; and c) to generate information that can be used for accountability, policy making, and school improvement. The multiple levels of the NALT make it possible to give each student a test appropriate to a student s current achievement level. Because the test is linked from level-to-level and grade-to-grade, it is possible to get an accurate measure of the growth at the student, class, school, and district level. NALT test items were specifically selected by district personnel from a large item bank to best match the district curriculum standards and daily learning in the classroom. The NALT user group norms, collected in 2002, include scores from over 1,00000,000 students and provide the most comprehensive growth data ever assembled for a standardized multiple-choice test. In the fall of 2000, a new set of math tests was developed by Minneapolis staff and in the fall of 2002, a new set of reading tests was developed. Questions? Contact Melody Jacobs-Cassuto, mcassuto@mpls.k12.mn.us. For more information: the web site for the publisher of the NALT Northwest Evaluation Association, is Overall NALT Performance for all Test Takers Table 5 shows the average test scores on the NALT in terms of general education students (GE), English Language Learners (ELL), Special Education students (Sp.Ed.), and all students combined by grade level. The table includes all students tested in 2002, 2003, and 2004 but a different group of students is reported each year at each grade (cross cohort). The number of students assessed in April, 2004 by program appears in the first row for each grade in Table 5. The percentage column refers to the percent of all students enrolled at each grade level who were assessed with the NALT. Participation rates for grades 2-7 during the past three years have been excellent (92% or higher). Grade 9 participation rates are lower. They had shown an increase in 2003 but dropped in Below the average scale scores are NALT percentile ranks that shows the performance of the average Minneapolis student as compared to students in the national user group norms. As a rule of thumb, district and school median percentile ranks that range between the 40 th and 60 th percentile can be considered in the national average range. Math achievement was stronger than reading. The math percentiles clustered in the 40 th to 50 th percentile ranges for grades 2 through 5 with grades 6, 7 and 9 all below the national range. The reading percentiles, however, were in the 30 th to 40 th percentile ranges (below the national range) for all grades except Grade 2. In comparison to national norms, the average percentile ranks change with each new norm group, but the scale scores for the NALT mean exactly as much achievement on the curriculum scale as it did three years ago or ten years ago. Table 5 shows increases in both math and Page 17Page 17

21 reading scale scores across all grades except grade 6 reading which remained steady from 2002 to 2004 for the entire population of students. Table 5.

22 Figures 13 and 14 depict the change in overall average NALT scale score for each grade level in reading and math based on the data in Table 5. Scale scores increase across grade level on a developmental scale similar to height and weight. As students get older, their skills in reading and math should increase. Also graphed is the MBST cut score; that is the score that predicts whether a student is likely to pass the eighth grade Minnesota Basic Skills Tests (MBST, see Table 7). Figure 13. Average Reading Scale Score on NALT NALT Scale Score Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade MBST Cut With respect to the cut score, both Minneapolis reading and math 2002 averages were above the basic skills cut score except for math at grade 7 and increased in magnitude for Table 7.

The reading and math performance patterns were similar across the ethnic groups. For White students the average reading and math scale scores were considerably above the basic standard cut score. Generally speaking the average Asian students tended to be at the math and reading basic standard cut score and the remaining ethnic groups tended to be somewhat below the basic standard cut score at several grades. Mean Scale Score Figure 15. Average Reading Scale Score on NALT by Ethnic Group Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Indian African Asian Hispanic White MBST Cut The gap between Students of Color and White students was about the same from grade to grade and the gap is less pronounced in math than reading. With respect to the basic standard cut score, Students of Color were somewhat stronger in grades 3-5 than grades 2, 6, and 7. Overall, Page 20Page 20

24 Indian and Asian students tended to score higher than Hispanic and African students. Within each ethnic group, students in homes where English is spoken did much better than students in homes where English is not spoken. This is true for math and reading. The English vs. non- English difference is greater in math than reading. Mean Scale Score Figure 16. Average Math Scale Score on NALT by Ethnic Group Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Indian African Asian Hispanic White MBST Cut Mean scale scores for all English Language Learner (ELL) or Special Education students taking the NALT during the school year are shown in Figures 17 and 18. ELL students consistently outscored Special Education students at all grades in both reading and math. In math, ELL is near or at the basic standard but below for other grades. In reading, both groups fell below the basic standard cut score that predicts passing the MBST and as one moves up the grades, they fall further below. 240 Figure 17.

Students MBST Cut Growth of Continuously Enrolled Students Table 8 lists the expected yearly growth for grades 3-7 for both reading and math based on the 2002 NALT norms. The table documents much higher growth expectation for students who start out in the lower blocks of the national norms with smaller expected change at the upper blocks. Also included are the percent of students who made one or more year s growth in the national group. Table 8. NALT Expected One-Year Scale Score (SS) Growth by Grade & Scale Score Block, 8 of National Norms Grade Natl Growth Reading % % % % Math % % % % The following graphs are based on continuously enrolled students (students who took NALT administered in both spring of 2003 and in spring of 2004). Figures represent the percentage of students who made at least one year s scale score growth by grade, ethnic group, and special programs. What constitutes a year s growth is the gain in scale score from the previous year to the present year and is dependent on grade and a student s initial level of achievement. For example, in reading much of the gains are achieved in the first few Page 22Page 22

26 years of instruction. Therefore, second grade students need to make faster progress than third or fourth grade students in order to keep up with national norms and district standards. It is also true that students with low initial levels of reading performance need to make greater progress than students who start out well above average. Students continuously enrolled in Minneapolis Public Schools from spring 2003 to spring 2004 were compared to the national growth norms (Table 8) in order to determine if students made less than one year s growth, about one year s growth, or greater than one year s growth. Students with less than 8 of one year s growth were classified as less than one year s growth. Students with of one year s growth were classified as making about one-year s growth, and students who made more than 12 of one year s growth were classified as making greater than one year s growth. Figures 19 and 20 compare the percent of students making about a year s growth or more in Minneapolis with the national growth norm by grade. Reading growth was good for the younger grades especially grade 4. There was a decline in growth for grades 5 and 6 with grade 7 remaining steady; in math the growth rates increased for grades 3 through 5, decreased significantly for grade 6 with a smaller decrease for grade 7. With respect to the national growth norm, there were some differences among the grades. At grade 4 the Minneapolis 2003 to 2004 growth was above the national norm in reading and math and above the national norm in math for grade 5. The remaining grades were below the national norm in both reading and math. 8 Figure 19.

Reading gains for special education students was below the all district gain. For ELL students, growth was similar to the district for both reading and math and for Special Education students, growth was below the district in both subjects. 10 Figure 21.

For Indian students, there were fewer than twenty-five students having a non-english home language, so they are not included in the two figures. All ethnic groups receiving ELL services except Asian s, made more gain in reading than those not receiving ELL services. In math the reverse was true. All ethnic groups not receiving ELL services except African students made more gain than those receiving ELL services. For African s the discrepancy between ELL and non-ell was quite large for both subjects. 10 Figure 23.

This analysis, known as the 20/20 analysis, shows the shift in the achievement for the middle scoring student (i.e., the median), the 20 th percentile student (at the level that separates the bottom 1/5 th of the students) and the 80 th percentile student (at the level that separates the top 1/5 th ) compared to national norms. The district wide 20/20 analysis is presented in Figures 27 and 28. The figures are based on the scores of all students who were continuously enrolled in grades 3-7 from 2003 to The three Nation lines on the graph represent the median, the 20 th, and the 80 th percentiles for the national norm group. 90 Figure /20 Analysis for NALT Reading Growth Grades 3-7 n=12,524 Normal Curve Equivalent (NCE) Nation Top 1/5 District Top 1/5 Nation Median District Median Nation Bottom 1/ District Bottom 1/5 Page 27Page 27

All three levels remained fairly stable indicating that about one year s growth was made. 90 Figure /20 Analysis for NALT Math Growth Grades 3-7 n=12,576 Normal Curve Equivalent (NCE) Nation Top 1/5 District Top 1/5 Nation Median District Median Nation Bottom 1/ District Bottom 1/ NCE Percentile NCE Percentile Top 1/ Median Bottom 1/ Figure 28 shows a very slight increase in performance in math for the top 2 of the distribution. The median and bottom 2 are stable indicating one year s growth. Longitudinal Analysis of Achievement Gaps Figures show longitudinal trends in NALT scale scores for all students who were continuously enrolled in the district for five years (grades 3-7). The basic standard cut score (predicting passing on the eighth grade MBST) and a high standard cut score is shown. The high standard cut score is equivalent to a Minnesota Page 28Page 28

32 Comprehensive Assessments score of 1420, the approximate dividing line between Level 2 and Level 3 in the new 5 level configuration. Figures 29 and 30 show longitudinal trends in NALT scale scores for the seventh grade students. In reading the scores are above the basic cut for all grades but starts below the high standard cut in the lower grades and catches up by grade 7. The same is true in math except by grade 5 the group catches up to the high standard cut score. 230 Figure 29.

33 Figures 31 and 32 below, show reading growth of continuously enrolled students in the class of 2009 by ethnic group as compared to the basic and high standards. The average White student scored above the high standard at all grades in reading. Students of Color scored below the high standard for the past five years with Indian students above the basic standard for grades 5-7. Asian, Hispanic, and African students performed similarly for grades 3-5 with Hispanic performing similarly to Indian for grades 6 and 7. Mean Scale Score Figure 31.

Longitudinal NALT Math Gains by Ethnic Group High Standard Mean Scale Score Basic Standard White Asian Hispanic 180 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade 8 Grade 9 In contrast, Asian and Hispanic averages continued to grow sufficient to stay even (i.e. parallel lines on figure 34) with the state standards but did not accelerate versus the standards as White student averages. In other words, Asian and Hispanic gaps versus the standards did not increase but gaps compared to White student performance did increase. Page 31Page 31
