126. January 2001GZHANG NCDPI Accountability Division Evaluation Section C:\Minority\Achievement&Gap_ncare2001.ppt Part IV Conclusions and Suggestions

127. January 2001GZHANG NCDPI Accountability Division Evaluation Section C:\Minority\Achievement&Gap_ncare2001.ppt Conclusions All ethnic groups have made progress in terms of percentage of students at/above grade level as well as mean scale score since 1993. For EOGs, the gaps between most of the minority student groups and white students have been reduced in percentage of students at/above grade level but increased in mean scale score since 1993. For EOCs, the gaps have been reduced in percentage of students at/above grade level for E1 and in mean scale score for E1, BI, & USH, but increased in percentage of students at/above grade level for BI & USH and in mean scale score for A1 since 1995. The gaps in mean scale score between most of the minority groups and the white students were bigger at levels III & IV than at levels I & II. Also, there were big gaps among mean scale scores for all Level IV student groups and the top margin of the Level IV score range for all courses in EOG from 1993 to 2000 and in EOC from 1995 to 2000.

128. January 2001GZHANG NCDPI Accountability Division Evaluation Section C:\Minority\Achievement&Gap_ncare2001.ppt Conclusions (Continue) For matched student cohorts, the gaps in mean scale score between most of the minority student groups and white students have increased for EOG Reading and Math since 1997. For matched AG student cohorts, there were gaps in mean scale score among most of the minority student groups and white students in EOG Reading and Math from 1997 to 2000. The maximum gaps for the 2000 EOG, in terms of percentage of students at/above grade level, among the subgroups of students are: –about 25% by ethnic group (e.g., 85%-60%), –about 35% by ethnic group by gender (e.g., 87%-52%), –about 36% by ethnic group by poverty level (e.g., 89%-53%). Most of the gaps on EOGs and EOCs, in terms of percentage of students at/above grade level, have decreased since 1993 and 1995 respectively, especially after the implementation of the ABCs. However, the rate of reduction is slow.

129. January 2001GZHANG NCDPI Accountability Division Evaluation Section C:\Minority\Achievement&Gap_ncare2001.ppt Attending to All Students We should pay attention to the percentage of minority students, as well as economically & educationally disadvantaged students, at/above grade level. At the same time we should attend to the mean scale scores of those students. We should continue to work hard to help low achievement students move above grade level. At the same time we should work very hard to help minority students, as well as economically & educationally disadvantaged students at all four achievement levels to achieve higher scale scores. Also, we should work very hard to help high Achievement students including the academically gifted students in all ethnic groups to achieve continuous progress and to move to the top margin of the score range of Level IV.
