| NCES 98464 | NAEP FACTS: Long-Term Trends in Student Reading Performance

Scores for 9- and 13-year-olds in most racial/ethnic and gender sub-groups reflected the overall increase. Black 17-year-olds were the only members of that age group to achieve an increase, and they did so while black dropout rates were declining. |
