In a blog post written by Jack Jennings, Center for Education Policy’s president, Jennings discusses achievement gains of white, Latino, and African American students on the long-term National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
The blog points out that while general trends show a mixed picture of achievement gains over the last four decades, Latino and African American students have made great gains. Accompanying the blog is a table showing the changes in long-term NAEP reading and math scores since the 1970s for white, Latino, and African American students as well as for all students. Links to the blog and table are posted below.
