鈥淣ational Indian 91制片厂视频 Study 2007, Part I鈥

From 2005 to 2007, the performance of 4th and 8th graders on the National Assessment of 91制片厂视频al Progress remained the same overall for students who are American Indians or Alaska Natives, according to by the National Center for 91制片厂视频 Statistics.

American Indian and Alaska Native students did better on NAEP in both reading and math if they attended schools with smaller concentrations of Native students. Students attending schools where fewer than 25 percent of students were from a Native group did better on the assessment than students at schools with higher concentrations of such students.

In another finding, American Indian and Alaska Native students in regular public schools did better on the national assessment than such students in Bureau of Indian 91制片厂视频 schools.
