2017 Results

About 2017 NAEP Results ABOUT THE TESTThe National Assessment of Educational Progress is a test that monitors how student achievement changes over time and across states. NAEP has been administered in states since 1990, though not all 50 states participated consistently in NAEP until 2003.

ABOUT THESE SLIDES• Years of data availability vary by data point.• Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. • In certain years, NAEP reported two sets of scores—one for tests with

accommodations, and another score for tests without accommodations. In those cases, we used the scores for the tests administered with accommodations.

• For national comparisons, we use NAEP’s sample of national public schools. We do so for two reasons:

1. Our work is focused on public education, and2. National public schools provide the best comparison for state and district

scores, which only include public schools.

Results: California Achievement by Race


California trends in racial achievement gaps

Context and Key Insights: Since 1992, Black and Latino achievement has gradually increased.

• From 2015 to 2017, Latino students’ average scores improved slightly for all tests except 8th grade math.

• Black students’ average scores improved slightly for reading, but decreased substantially for 4th and 8th grade math with 4 and 5 point decreases, respectively.

While Black-White and Latino-White gaps have narrowed over time, they are not closing fast enough.

• From 2015 to 2017, California has made the greatest improvement in 4th grade math.• From 1992 to 2017, the Black-White gap narrowed by 12 points, and the

Latino-White gap narrowed by 9 points.• However, significant gaps remain across all grades and all subjects. The Black-

White gaps vary between 22 to 38 points and the Latino-White gaps vary between 22 to 31 points.

• While the White-Latino and White-Black gaps has shrunk in the past 15 years, there is a growing gap between Latino/Black students and Asian/Pacific Islander students.


California trends in racial achievement gaps

Context and Key Insights: Although California substantially improved its overall ranking in 8th grade reading from 2015 to 2017, proficiency gaps persist across racial groups.

• 81% of Black and Latino students are below proficient in 8th grade math, compared to 49% of White students and 46% Asian/Pacific Islander students.

When compared to top ranked states, California has a higher share of Black and Latino students below proficient across all tests.

• 50% of Latino students and 57% of Black students in California are below basic in 4th grade reading, compared to 38% and 36% in Massachusetts (the #1 ranked state in 4th grade reading) for Latino and Black students, respectively.

• In some instances, rates of top ranked states mirror those of California for Latino and Black students. • In 8th grade math, 80% of Latino students and 88% of Black students in

Minnesota (the 2nd ranked state) are below proficient, compared to 84% and 90% of Latino and Black students in California, respectively.

• Fresno is 25th (out of 27) in 8th grade math • Los Angeles does not score above that Large City average on any test.

Trends are evident within the California TUDA districts• Since being included in 2009, Fresno is consistently the lowest-performing district on all four

tests. However, since 2011, Fresno has had the largest improvement in 4th grade reading with an increase of 9 points in its average score, compared to 7 and 6 for San Diego and Los Angeles, respectively.

• 4th and 8th grade reading scores improved from 2015 to 2017 for all three California districts. • Math performance varied across district
