Fast Fact: Gaps at the Top
May 16, 2013
Students of color face gaps throughout the achievement spectrum. On the 2011 fourth-grade math NAEP, roughly 1 in 10 white students scored at the advanced level, compared with only 1 in 50 Hispanic students and 1 in 100 black students. If we want to close gaps between groups of students, we need to focus not just on our lowest performing students, but on average and high-achieving students as well.
