The Nation's Report Card: Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) Mathematics 2009 describes results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in mathematics for 18 selected urban districts from across the country.
Representative samples of between 1,800 and 4,300 fourth- and eighth-grade public school students from 18 urban districts participated in the 2009 assessment. Eleven of the districts also participated in the 2007 and 2005 assessments, and 10 participated in 2003. Results from the 2009 TUDA report in mathematics include:
* In comparison to 2007, scores improved in two districts at each grade in 2009. Scores did not change for the remaining nine districts that participated in 2007.
* Five districts at both grade 4 and grade 8 had higher scores than large cities nationally in 2009. Ten districts had scores lower than large cities at both grades.
* When compared to 2003, the 2009 average mathematics scores at grade 4 were higher in eight out of ten participating districts, and in nine out of ten participating districts at grade 8.
* Average mathematics scores in 2009 were higher for Hispanic fourth-graders in seven out of ten participating districts, when compared to 2003. Over the same period, White and Black fourth-graders achieved higher scores in five districts each.
The TUDA reading results, traditionally released with the TUDA mathematics results, will be released later. New reading frameworks for the 2009 assessment required additional analyses.
