  2. What Do We Know About Student Achievement? A National Snapshot

  3. Good News in Early Grades:NAEP Trends 2005 • Continued Gains for all groups, and • Progress in closing gaps among groups • MOMENTUM

  4. Not Much Traction in High Schools

  5. 12th Grade Achievement In Math and Science is Up Somewhat

  7. In Reading, 12th Grade Achievement is Headed Downward

  8. HIGH SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT: READING AND WRITINGNAEP Long-Term Trends

  9. What about different groups of students?During seventies and eighties, much progress.

  43. But instead of organizing our system to ameliorate these problems, we organize it to exacerbate them. As a result, gaps grow wider and wider as student progress through the grades.
