with a new report looking at NAEP scores.

This reports does show some score gaps are growing since the 1990’s.

For math in the 4th and 8th grade levels whites are growing the gap big time when it comes to the amount getting to the advanced level. For reading at the same level the gap is not going as fast.

That same type of event occurs when you look at non-ELL vrs ELL students and when you look at students who get free or reduced lunches vs. the ones that do not.
