Can No Child Left Behind Close the Gaps in Pass Rates on Standardized Tests?

  • Characteristics that schools can control account for 10%-25% of the gap.
  • 30%- 50% is due to uncontrollable school characteristics such as racial composition of students.
  • It is not reasonable to expect schools to be able to eliminate gaps in pass rates according to results.
  • Uncontrollable characteristics account for about 35% of gap in pass rates for Blacks and between 25% and 40% for Hispanics.
