Data are presented on achievement gains by state (4th grade reading scale scores, 1992-1998; 8th grade science and scale scores, 1996-2000; 4th grade math scale scores, 1992-2000; and 8th grade math scale scores, 1990-2000); state progress in moving students to higher levels of proficiency (4th grade reading, 1992-1998, and 8th grade mathematics, 1990-2000); National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2000 (how far African American and Latino students are behind by state); and African American-White and Latino-White reading and writing achievement gaps as measured by NAEP 1998 grade 8 assessment.

The table below shows state progress in reducing the percentage of students scoring "Below Basic" on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. A negative number in the "Change" columns indicates that states have successfully reduced the number of students who did not meet even the basic level. The table indicates that many states have made such progress over the last several years.
