Fourth-grade students scored higher in both reading and mathematics.
Eighth-graders scored higher in mathematics, but reading scores decreased.
Many of the differences in achievement between Black or Hispanic students and their White counterparts have narrowed.
Most states did not see a change in reading scores for 4th or 8th graders.
Thirty-three states and jurisdictions showed an increase in 4th-grade mathematics scores.
