By María Teresa Sánchez; Stacy Ehrlich; Emily Midouhas; and Laura O’Dwyer, Boston College

The report examines Hispanic high school students' performance on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System tests in English language arts and mathematics over 2002/03–2005/06. It compares the scores of grade 10 Hispanic and non-Hispanic students and uses multilevel regressions to examine associations between the Hispanic students’ scores and student- and school-level characteristics.
