Product Description:
This Issues & Answers report was prepared as a cross-laboratory initiative to compare gaps in performance on state achievement tests between grade 8 American Indian and Alaska Native students and all other grade 8 students in 26 states with large populations of American Indian and Alaska Native students.
Key Ideas:
The study found that the majority of states saw an increase in the proficiency rates of American Indian and Alaska Native students and either a decrease in their performance deficit or an increase in their performance lead compared with all other students.
