| What are the trends in student achievement for high-poverty schools? | Long-term trends in NAEP scores depict a widening achievement gap between high- and low-poverty schools from the late 1980s to 1999, with scores declining in high-poverty schools while increasing in low-poverty schools. However, trends in NAEP scores for the highest-poverty schools have risen since 1992 in both reading and math. Among low-performing students, NAEP scores during the 1990s showed no significant change in reading but substantial gains in math. State assessment results are available for a small number of states, and show a more positive picture than the NAEP data. In both reading and math, high-poverty schools in 7 out of 9 states showed achievement gains over a recent 3-year period. The achievement gap between high- and low-poverty schools decreased in 6 of the 9 states. |
