Updated data on student achievement on state assessments, school and district identification for improvement, and highly qualified teachers, and schools' AYP and improvement status are also provided. New data are provided for third- and fifth-graders who participated in one of four promising remedial reading interventions during the 2003-04 school year as part of the "Closing the Reading Gap" study.
