Asian kindergarten students more likely to display advanced math, science skills, new study finds


Disparities in advanced math and science skills among different racial backgrounds emerge early on in a student’s development, a new study has found.

The study, conducted by researchers from Pennsylvania State University, University of California, Irvine and University of Texas Health Science Center, found that 16% of Asian students displayed advanced math skills during kindergarten.

The percentage dropped slightly for white students at 13% while both Black and Hispanic students were at 4%.

The findings, first published in Sage Journals on Nov. 8, come from an analysis of a national sample of around 11,000 U.S. elementary school students, covering the start of kindergarten until the end of fifth grade.
