results of own-race teachers on student achievement study

There is a statistically significant achievement increase in reading for black and white students who were racially matched to their teachers, and in math for black, white, and asian/pacific island students who were racially matched to their teachers
Black students-the racial match impact is bigger in math, .019 SD, than in reading, .004 SD which was mostly driven by the elementary school years
White students-the racial match impact was about the same for both math and reading: .007 SD for math and .005 for reading. The math effect was driven in the elementary grades as well
Asian/Pacific Island students-had positive impact of .041 SD in math, which was driven by middle/high school
Hispanic students-there were negative effect sizes: -.011 SD in reading and -.007 SD in math-however there are data limitations because Florida has many different people from different origins and many people who are not native born
Low-performing students benefited particularly from race match- it is not statistically significant for reading but for math, there is a positive effect size of .005 SD and an interaction effect of .007 SD
Low performing white students have an interaction effect of .016 SD in reading and 0.14 SD in math, and black students have an interaction effect of .02 SD in reading and .027 in math
