The Nation's Report Card: State Reading 2002, Report for Hawaii.
Jerry, Laura; Lutkus, Anthony
This report provides selected results from the 2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for Hawaii's public-school students at grades 4 and 8. Since 1992, reading has been assessed in four different years at the state level (at grade 4 in 1992 and 1994, and at both grades 4 and 8 in 1998 and 2002). Hawaii participated in all of these assessments at grades 4 and 8 and met the criteria for reporting public-school results for both grades. Key findings for grade 4 are: the average scale score for students in Hawaii was 208, which was higher than that of 1992 (203) and was higher than that in 1998 (200); students' scale scores in Hawaii were higher than those in 4 jurisdictions, lower than those in 37 jurisdictions, and the difference was not found to be significant for 6 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Hawaii who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 21%, which was greater than that in 1992 (17%) and was greater than that in 1998 (17%). Key findings for grade 8 are: the average scale score for students in Hawaii was 252, which was higher than that in 1998 (249); students' scale scores in Hawaii were higher than those in 4 jurisdictions, lower than those in 38 jurisdictions, and the difference was not found to be significant for 4 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Hawaii who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 20%, which was not found to differ significantly from that in 1998 (19%). After an introduction, the report presents overall results, comparisons between states, reading performance by demographic characteristics, and it discusses moving toward a more inclusive NAEP, and where to find more information.
