A pioneering study of Oklahoma student test scores revealed troubling results while setting the path for public education in the state for the next decade.
New state research found minority children had lower test scores than their white peers, even when the only apparent differentiating factor was the color of their skin or their ethnicity, according to data from the Oklahoma State Department of Education.
Students of color consistently scored lower in math and English language arts across multiple grade levels, even when they were not economically disadvantaged, weren’t English language learners and had no disability, the state agency reported.
