The NAEP test is given nationally every two years in reading and math and offers results and a comparison for the performance of students across the nation and for the states. Every state is required under “No Child Left Behind” to participate. However, individual school districts are not required to participate. Detroit has been participating in NAEP, but this is the first time the district’s individual results can be reported.

“The truth here is that no jurisdiction of any kind in the history of NAEP has ever registered such low numbers,” said Michael Casserly, Executive Director of the Council of the Great City Schools. “They are just above what one would expect by chance alone—as if the kids simply guessed at the answers. These numbers—to our mind—are shocking, appalling, and outrageous and should not be allowed to stand.”

Students were assessed in grades 4 and 8 only.
The average scale score for the nation’s 4th graders in math in 2009 was 239 on the 0-500 scale. The average scale score for Michigan’s 4th graders was 236—just below the national average. The average scale score for the nation’s large central cities was 231 in 2009—with the highest city (Charlotte) scoring at 245.
Detroit’s 4th graders scored at 200—the lowest of all 18 participating cities. The next lowest scoring city (Fresno) was 19 points higher than Detroit.
In terms of performance levels in the 4th grade, nationally, some 6 percent of 4th graders scored at the advanced level, 33% were proficient, 43% were basic, and 19% were below basic. In Michigan, 5% were advanced, 30% were proficient, 43% were basic, and 22% were below basic. Among the large central cities, 5% were advanced, 24% were proficient, 43% were basic, and 28% were below basic.
In Detroit, there were no measurable students at the advanced level, 3% were proficient, 28% were basic, and 69% were below basic.
On a typical problem involving a student having to subtract a two-digit number from a three-digit number—say 301 minus 75—67% of the nation’s 4th graders will get the right answer as will 63% of urban students generally. Only 33% of Detroit’s 4th graders get the right answer.

The average scale score for the nation’s 8th graders in math in 2009 was 282—a number that is not comparable to the 4th grade number even though they are both on a 0-500 scale.
