摘要：In this investigation, differences in reading skills of Texas high school students as a function ofeconomic status were examined. Data were obtained from the Texas Education Agency on allTexas high school students for the 2004-2005 through the 2011-2012 school years. In allanalyses, statistically significant differences, with small to moderate effect sizes, were presentin reading skills by student economic status. Average reading scores were lower for studentswho were economically disadvantaged than for students who were not economicallydisadvantaged. Each of the three Reading Objectives were also examined separately becauseeach objective contained a different amount of questions within the assessment and differingdegrees of critical-thinking skills embedded into the content of the questions. In all cases,scores were lower for students who were economically disadvantaged than for students whowere not economically disadvantaged. Suggestions for future research and implications forpolicy and practice were made.
