John Q. Easton 2007¶

John Q. Easton, Stuart Luppescu, Todd Rosenkranz. (2007). 2006 ISAT Reading and Math Scores in Chicago and the Rest of the State.

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Observational analysis of 2006 ISAT reading scores for White students (about 9 percent of the CPS ISAT population versus nearly 70 percent elsewhere); no standardized effect size is printed in this sentence.

"In reading, in fact, on average they consistently score as well as or better than their peers statewide."

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Observational analysis of 2006 ISAT math scores for White students; White students at the 25th percentile in CPS are a little behind at all grade levels but less behind in eighth grade, while 75th-percentile CPS White students are consistently ahead.

"Average White students in CPS score about the same as average White students in the rest of the state at all grade levels."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• When compared within racial/ethnic groups, large CPS-versus-rest-of-state gaps disappear, and some CPS groups outperform their counterparts — a broader claim this one bears on
• The gap between Chicago Public Schools students and other Illinois students in ISAT reading is about half as large in eighth grade as in third grade — 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
• Chicago Latino students underperform rest-of-state Latino counterparts slightly in third grade but outperform them in eighth-grade reading — related
