Abstract	This report provides data on the academic achievement gap that separates low-income and minority students from other students, examining how well different groups of students perform in Texas and noting inequities in teacher quality, course offerings, and funding. Included are tables and data that provide: a frontier gap analysis (a comparison of Texas to the leaders in achievement and gap closing); student profile (the demographic distribution of youth in Texas); state performance (academic achievement and educational attainment); opportunity (well prepared teachers, challenging curricula, special student placements, effective instruction, and annual per pupil investments); minority achievement gains, state by state; and analysis of minority-white achievement gaps by subject area and grade level. African American 8th graders in Texas out-perform African American 8th graders in all other states in writing. African American 8th graders in Texas also made more progress in math from 1990 to 1996 than African American students in most other states. However, African American 8th graders in Texas still score more than 1 year behind white 8th graders in the state in writing, 3 years behind in math and science, and 2 years behind in reading. Hispanic 8th graders in Texas are the second best performing of all Hispanic 8th graders in the country in reading and writing. Hispanic 4th graders in Texas also made more progress in math and reading during the 1990s than Hispanic 4th graders in most other states. However, Hispanic 8th graders in Texas still score about 2 years behind white 8th graders in the state in reading, writing, and math and 3 years behind in science. Eighth graders from low-income families in Texas score about 2 years behind non-poor 8th graders in the state in reading, writing, and science, and 3 years behind in math. (Contains 24 references.)
