According to the results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NEAP) released on October 19, most of our nation’s 8th graders are performing at or above the basic achievement levels in reading and math—some better than others, whites much better than blacks.
Twenty nine percent of the students in public schools perform below the basic performance level in reading while the remaining 71 percent score at or above the basic level. In mathematics, 32 percent perform below basic while the remaining 68 percent perform at or above.

In mathematics, 21 percent of white students perform below basic, while 59 percent of black students perform below basic.
