Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

All Students Count Act of 2023This bill requires the results of student academic assessments to be disaggregated within each state, local educational agency, and school by Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander subgroups.In particular, the Asian American category must include Chinese, Asian Indian, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Pakistani, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Thai, Taiwanese, Burmese, Bangladeshi, and Nepalese subgroups, and, to the greatest extent practicable, additional subgroups such as the lu Mien and Montagnards. The Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander category must include Native Hawaiian, Samoan, Chamorro, Tongan, iTaukei, and Marshallese, and, to the greatest extent practicable, additional subgroups such as the Chuukese and Palauan.The Department of Education must develop guidance related to whether and when these reporting requirements will yield statistically reliable information. Such guidance shall help to inform the minimum number of students that will maximize data reporting for each major racial and ethnic group.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill mandates that student assessment data be disaggregated by specific Asian American and Pacific Islander subgroups, such as Chinese, Filipino, Native Hawaiian, Samoan, and others.
The Department of Education must develop guidance on the minimum number of students needed to report data for each major racial and ethnic group to ensure statistical reliability.
The goal is to uncover and address potential achievement gaps that may exist within these broader racial categories, which can often mask differences between more specific subgroups.

How This Impacts Americans
