TODAY’S PROMISE, TOMORROW’S FUTURE The Social and Educational Factors Contributing to the Outcomes of Hispanics in Urban Schools
PURPOSE This study attempts to pull together achievement data specifically focusing on Hispanic students in our urban schools. This document will provide a reference point or baseline data to ignite and guide our future work. Still, the work is limited in that it examines only six areas in the lives of America’s Hispanic youth: 1. Readiness to learn 2. Hispanic and ELL Hispanic student achievement on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 3. Hispanic and ELL Hispanic student achievement on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in selected big city school districts 4. College and career preparedness 5. School experience 6. Postsecondary experience
FACTOR 2: Hispanic Achievement on NAEP Between 2003 and 2009 average reading scores of grades 4 and 8 Hispanic (LC), Black (LC), and White (NP) students increased significantly. However, in 2009, average scores of Hispanic (LC) and Black (LC) students were not statistically different at both grades 4 and 8.
FACTOR 2: Hispanic Achievement on NAEP Between 2003 and 2009 scores of formerly ELLs(LC) were higher than Non-ELLs (NP). Additionally, in 2009 Formerly ELLs in large cities scored significantly higher than Non-ELLS in the nation.
TUDA DISTRICTS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN LC OR NP IN NAEP MATH AND READING,2009

Data Collection Challenges • Data not reported in a consistent manner across national databases , state database and district databases • Districts do not collect data requested • National and state data are not always disaggregated by race/ethnicity/ELL status
Moving Forward with Beating the Odds • Data Dashboard on website • District Demographics • State Assessment Achievement (disaggregated by student group) • SAT/ACT Achievement
Dashboard Considerations • Are the data the Council currently presents in the annual BTO reports useful? • How can we make the dashboard useful to your district? What additional data should be included?
