           2005 Science Trial Urban District Assessment 

            Results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2005 science Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) were just released, comparing the performance of 4th and 8th graders in 10 large urban school districts. Performance of students in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Diego are compared with students nationally and in large central cities. Performance of racial/ethnic groups in the districts is examined, as is the performance of low-income students.

            Highlights:

              a.. Overall, student performance in the TUDA districts was comparable to
              that of students in large central cities, but below student performance in
              the nation.
              b.. In many of the districts, average scores for White, Black, Hispanic, and
              Asian/Pacific Islander students were either higher or not significantly
              different from the national average for their peers.
              c.. Comparisons between only low-income students show less variation in
              performance between the districts, and smaller gaps with the nation.
