A Closer Look at the Hispanic–White Achievement Gaps Using NAEP Data
Sat, April 14, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Marriott Pinnacle, Floor: Third Level, DundaraveSession Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
The U.S. Hispanic student population has increased from 7 to 21 percent in the last 20 years. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the achievement gaps between Hispanic and White students have persisted since the early 1990s. These persistent achievement gaps have attracted educational policy makers and educational researchers’ concerns and interest. The papers in this symposium present different perspectives of the achievement gaps, using NAEP data: educational achievement and attainment gaps at the national level; the relationship between contextual factors and the achievement gaps; an in-depth look at the gaps in the five states with the largest Hispanic populations; and the gaps for 15 large urban districts participating in NAEP’s TUDA assessments.
