Subgroup Achievement and Gap Trends: Nevada, 2010
Center on Education Policy
This paper profiles the student subgroup achievement and gap trends in Nevada for 2010. In grade 8 (the only grade in which subgroup trends were analyzed by achievement level), Nevada showed across-the-board gains--improvements in both reading and math at the basic, proficient and advanced levels for all racial/ethnic subgroups, low income students, and boys and girls. Achievement gaps between students in these subgroups and their white and non-low income peers narrowed. Comparable data were available from 2006 through 2009 for grade 4, and from 2004 through 2009 for grade 8 and high school. (Contains 9 tables.) [For the main report, "State Test Score Trends through 2008-09, Part 2: Slow and Uneven Progress in Narrowing Gaps", see ED513914.]
