This year the Center on Education Policy (CEP) analyzed data on the achievement of different groups of students in two distinct ways. First, it looked at grade 4 test results to determine whether the performance of various groups improved at three achievement levels--basic and above, proficient and above, and advanced. Second, it looked at gaps between these groups at the proficient level across three grades (grade 4, grade 8 in most cases, and a high school grade). These two types of analyses show whether elementary school achievement has generally gone up for different groups of students and whether achievement gaps at different grade levels have narrowed, widened, or stayed the same. This paper profiles the student subgroup achievement and gap trends in Maryland. All the student groups analyzed showed a clear trend of gains in grade 4 reading and math at two achievement levels--proficient-and-above and advanced. Achievement gaps between student groups also narrowed in the majority of cases in grades 4 and 8. (Contains 7 tables.)
