2003-2004 NAEP Results

According to the 2003-2004 National Assessment of Educational Progress [see http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/ ] 9-year-olds posted record scores in reading and mathematics. 13-year-olds made modest gains, especially see math results. High school students' performance (17-year-olds) remained flat, however. For minorities, the test gap (not to be confused with the real achievement or educational attainment-gap) has apparently been dramatically narrowed as well.

See a related San Francisco Chronicle (7/15) report.
