This report summarizes the level of academic achievement, and the extent of racial and gender gaps in that achievement, of students in North Carolina's Wake County Public School System (WCPSS). The comparison was conducted using 1993 End-of-Grade (EOG) tests; low income group EOG test performance; 1993 writing tests and high school writing failures; high school low achievement ratings; placement in special programs for students identified as learning disabled or behaviorally/emotionally handicapped; poor academic performance in reading and mathematics; and other measures of academic success. The results, presented in graphic format, show that white females were the most successful group, while black males were the least successful group. Major findings are: (1) black students are most likely to come from low-income single-parent families; (2) more than half of black students scored in Levels I and II on the 1993 End-of-Grade tests, compared to less than 20% of white students; (3) when low achievement scores are analyzed separately for students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, gaps still existed between race and gender groups; and (4) the United States History End-of-Course test was the one achievement measure on which males in all three racial categories had fewer low scores than females.
