- Summary:
-
This report provides data on the academic achievement gap that separates low-income and minority students from other students, examining how well different groups of students perform in Arkansas and noting inequities in teacher quality, course offerings, and funding. Included are tables and data that provide: a frontier gap analysis (a comparison of Arkansas to the leaders in achievement and gap closing); student profile (the demographic distribution of youth in Arkansas); state performance (academic achievement and educational attainment); opportunity (well prepared teachers, challenging curricula, special student placements, effective instruction, and annual per pupil investments); minority achievement gains, state by state; and analysis of minority-white achievement gaps by subject area and grade level. Hispanic 4th graders in Arkansas made more progress in math from 1992 to 1996 than Hispanic 4th graders in almost any other state. However, Hispanic 8th graders in Arkansas score more than 3 years behind white 8th graders in the state in reading and science, and more than 2 years behind in writing. African American 8th graders in Arkansas score more than 3 years behind white 8th graders in the state in math and science, and more than 2 years behind in reading and writing. The state's poor/non-poor achievement gap would close for 8th graders in both math and science if poor students in Arkansas scored as well as poor students in North Dakota. (Contains 24 references.)
