Policy Briefs

This brief examines long-term academic outcomes for students who demonstrate low reading achievement in third grade.

NAEP is administered nationally to a representative sample of students from all 50 states, so acts as a standard measure of student performance across states and time. This policy brief will examine Arkansas’ 2017 results and examine score gaps between student groups.
