No matter **where** you perform the measurement:

************************** excerpt ******************************

[...]
For example, in the 2000 NAEP results, 35% of white eighth-graders
were rated as proficient or better in math, up from 19% in 1990.
But the figure was 6% for black eighth-graders, up just one percentage
point since 1990.
In Wisconsin, the **gap** between black and white students in math
is huge. At the 10th-grade level, 23% of black students were
rated as proficient or better in math, in testing during the
2002-'03 school year; for white students, the figure was 76%.
At the other end of the scale, 40% of black students were rated
at the "minimal" proficiency level, the lowest category, compared
with 10% of white students.
