In reading, 9-year-olds have made larger gains in the past five years than at any point in the previous 28 years;
In math, 9-year-olds and 13-year-olds earned the highest scores in the history of the test; and
In both reading and math, African American and Hispanic students are scoring higher, and are beginning to close the achievement gap with their white peers.

Check out this recent article from the New York Times about the achievement gap--recent information about the gap remaining the same in some subjects. Ms. librarian http://www.statesman.com/search/content/news/stories/nation/11/20/20achievementgap.html

Dropout rates are about the same for males and females, but the rates are not the same for students from different ethnic groups or different income levels. In general, rates are higher for minority students and students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The 1993 status dropout rate was:

7.9 percent for white students, compared to 13.6 percent for black students and 27.5 percent for Hispanic students; and

2.7 percent for students with a high family income level, compared to 23.9 percent for students with a low family income level.
