  • At grade 4, White, Black, and Hispanic students in Austin and Houston outperformed their counterparts in large central cities. This was also the case for White students in Atlanta.
  • At grade 8, White students in Austin, Houston, and Charlotte, as well as Hispanic students in Austin, outperformed their peers in large central cities.
