This study discusses the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills objective-level reading scores of more than 50,000 Hispanic students by comparing ethnicity, gender, grade, and academic programs. The results revealed that reading scores were low for Hispanic students, and means were below passing levels, especially in word meaning and summarization. Hispanic students' English-version scores at lower grade levels were higher than the Spanish version. Tenth graders did fairly well in all six objectives. Female students scored higher than males did on all six objectives for all grade levels.
