Broken Embargo: Early Urban NAEP Scores*
The new urban NAEP scores aren't supposed to be out until later this morning, but there's at least one story out already on the new results:
City Students Stalled on National Education Tests NY Sun
In the city, 41% of
eighth-graders cannot perform basic reading, up from 38% in 2003, the
first year scores were reported, and above the percentages in Houston
and Chicago, 37% and 39% respectively. On the math test, 43% of
eighth-graders scored below basic, compared with 46% in 2003.
The full results for 11 districts will be out later, and the EdSec is doing an event in Atlanta.
