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 Utah and noting inequities in teacher quality, course offerings, and funding. Included are tables and data that provide: a frontier gap analysis (a comparison of Utah to the leaders in achievement and gap closing); student profile (the demographic distribution of youth in Utah); 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. Hispanic 8th graders in Utah are among the top performing Hispanic 8th graders in the country in reading. However, Hispanic 8th graders still score more than 1 year behind white 8th graders in the state in reading, and more than 2 years behind in math, science, writing. Eighth graders from low-income families in Utah score more than 1 year behind non-poor 8th graders in the state in math, reading, and writing, and nearly 1 year behind in science.
