Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools

Board of EducationOctober 11, 2011

Introduction

• The following charts compare the EOG performance in reading and math by gender and other subgroup classifications for African-American, Hispanic and White students– Due to the small number of students for American Indian, Asian

and Multiracial subgroups, results are variable and demonstrate inconsistent patterns

• Charts include the 5 Urban Districts when data are available

Summary

• Gender Gaps are larger in the middle grades

• Gender Gaps are larger for the African-American and Hispanic subgroup as a whole and increasingly in middle grades for African-American students

• Economic differences account for about 1/3 – 1/2 of the gap for African-American students

• English proficiency and economic differences account for virtually all of the gap for Hispanic students
