Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? Compared to the early 1990s, scores were higher for most racial/ethnic groups; compared to 2017, grade 8 reading scores were lower for all racial/ethnic groups except Asian/Pacific Islander students. → Results from the 2019 Mathematics and Reading Assessments 2020

Evidence¶

Results from the 2019 Mathematics and Reading Assessments 2020¶

q2 · i? · associational · r?

The NAEP 2019 results by race/ethnicity report average 2019 scores by student group and significance flags against 2017 and earlier years, printing that grade 8 reading was lower for all groups "except for Asian/Pacific Islander students". No effect sizes are reported.

"Average reading scores lower at grade 8 for all racial/ethnic groups compared to 2017 except for Asian/Pacific Islander students"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Race and Ethnicity — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause

Grade 4 reading scores in 2019 decreased across the performance distribution except at the 90th percentile compared to 2017 — related
Grade 8 mathematics scores in 2019 decreased at the 10th and 25th percentiles compared to 2017, while the average was 1 point higher than 2017 and 19 points higher than 1990 — related
Asian and white CPS students score consistently higher than Latino and African-American students in reading and math, and Asian students score significantly higher in math than white students — related
Existing race and ethnicity data standards render some Indigenous students and diverse Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander students invisible, concealing disparities that disaggregated data would reveal — related
Grade 8 reading scores in 2019 decreased across the performance distribution, with greater decreases at the 10th and 25th percentiles — related
Percentages of students at or above NAEP Proficient were unchanged in mathematics and lower in reading since 2017 at grades 4 and 8 — related
Average reading scores in 2019 were lower in more than half of states at grade 8 and in approximately one-third of states at grade 4, while mathematics scores were mainly steady across states — related
