In grade 8 (the only grade in which subgroup trends were analyzed by achievement level), Louisiana showed mostly gains in reading at the basic and proficient levels for racial/ethnic subgroups, low income students, and boys and girls. There were slight declines at the advanced level in reading for some subgroups. In math, there were gains across the board--all subgroups at all three achievement levels. Achievement gaps tended to narrow in both reading and math. Comparable data were available from 1999 through 2009 for grades 4 and 8, and 2001 through 2009 for grade 10. (Contains 9 tables.)
