Table 9. Difference in the Black-White student achievement gap in grade 8 mathematics, accounting for socioeconomic status (SES) only or student, teacher, and school characteristics compared to the gap without controls, by Black student density category: 2011
	Black Student Density Category
	0-20			20-40			40-60			60-100
	Average		Standard error	Average		Standard error	Average		Standard error	Average	Standard error
(Black-White gap accounting for SES) - (Black-White gap)	8	*	1.6	7	*	1.9	5	*	2.3	5	2.5
(Black-White gap accounting for student, teacher, and school characteristics) - (Black-White gap)	11	*	3.2	10	*	3.3	7	*	3.6	6	3.7
*Statistically different from zero (p<=.05).
NOTE: "Black student density" is the percentage of students in a school who were Black (e.g., schools in the 0-20 percent category had a percentage of students who were Black between 0 and 20 percent). Socioeconomic status was measured by a composite score on parental education and occupations, and family income.
