Eric A. Hanushek; Paul E. Peterson; Laura M. Talpey; Ludger Woessmann – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2020
Rising inequality in the United States has raised concerns about potentially widening gaps in educational achievement by socio-economic status (SES). Using assessments from LTT-NAEP, Main-NAEP, TIMSS, and PISA that are psychometrically linked over time, we trace trends in achievement for U.S. student cohorts born between 1954 and 2001. Achievement…
