Hispanic students in D.C. Public Schools are making greater gains on key achievement tests than their peers as they grow as a percentage of the school system.
Among eighth-graders, Hispanic students’ math scores jumped by 15 points between 2007 and 2009 on the math portion of the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Black students saw gains of about 4 percentage points, and other racial groups were too small to be recorded accurately.
