FRL Gains

April 6, 2011

(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)

So I ran the NAEP learning gains for free and reduced lunch eligible children for the entire period in which all 50 states have data available on all 4 main NAEP exams.

West Virginia, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do!

What has Maryland been up to? Underrated?

North Carolina…you really let yourself go!

Florida wins despite the fact that starting the clock in 2003 ignores large gains between 1998 and 2002.

Discuss amongst yourselves…I’m feeling a little verklempt.
