HE:ED Highlights: November 2010 NAEP Report

NAEP Table (math scores up, gap remains)


NOTE: Accommodations were not permitted for the NAEP reading assessment in 1992.

So, although twelfth-grade public and private school students' mathematics scores were up across the board in 2009 versus 2005, reading scores were not up across the board. 

Quoted directly from NAEP report:

"Racial/ethnic and gender achievement gaps did not change significantly in either reading or mathematics."

"In comparison to 1992, reading scores were lower in 2009 overall and for both male and female students. There were no significant changes in the reading scores for any of the racial/ethnic groups with samples large enough to report results in both years, and no significant changes in the racial/ethnic or gender achievement gaps compared to 1992."
