Detailed Student Data: Ending Hidden Educational Gaps for Diverse Groups.

This law mandates that state education systems collect and report more detailed academic performance data for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander students. Currently, these diverse populations are grouped together, obscuring significant educational challenges faced by specific ethnic subgroups. The new, granular data will enable schools and authorities to better identify and target support to communities most in need.
Key points
Schools must now report student outcomes by breaking down broad categories into specific ethnic subgroups (e.g., Vietnamese, Hmong, Samoan), reflecting census standards.
The goal is to reveal disparities in educational attainment previously hidden in aggregated statistics, allowing for more precise allocation of resources and assistance programs.
The Department of Education will issue guidance to ensure the collected data is statistically reliable and maximizes useful reporting for each subgroup.
