Reading Results
7
No significant change in AI/AN reading scores or gaps compared to 2009 or 2005
* Significantly different (p < .05) from 2011.NOTE: AI/AN = American Indian/Alaska Native. Score gaps are calculated based on differences between unrounded average scores.

No significant change in scores for AI/AN fourth-graders attending different types of schools
* Significantly different (p < .05) from 2011.NOTE: AI/AN = American Indian/Alaska Native. BIE = Bureau of Indian Education. School density indicates the proportion of AI/AN students enrolled. Low density schools have less than 25 percent AI/AN students. High density schools have 25 percent or more.
AI/AN eighth-graders in BIE schools score higher than in 2009
9* Significantly different (p < .05) from students in the nation.NOTE: Score gaps are calculated based on the difference between unrounded average scores.
10* Significantly different (p < .05) from students in the nation.NOTE: Score gaps are calculated based on the difference between unrounded average scores.
