UMass study: Latino students improve on MCAS; dropout, absence rates high
Tagged: Massachusetts, Professor, student
Latino students in Massachusetts are showing some improvement in MCAS achievement and a decline in MCAS failure rates, according to a study released on Wednesday that also underscored high dropout and absence rates.
Amid continuing concern over achievement gaps, the “moderate” gains are positive developments, said Miren Uriarte, an associate professor and sociologist at the University of Massachusetts Mauricio Gaston Institute. Uriarte, in a statement, called the results “still very depressed when compared to other groups.”"*
