The first table cites the pass ratios for all low-income students at 37.3%, 28.3%, and 26.4% for 4th, 7th, and 10th grade respectively -- the pass rates for black children are lower than that. So one can accurately infer that non-black low-income children perform better.
Granted, this isn't as informative as breaking things down by both race and income. But, as far as I can tell, this is a limitation of the state's reporting data and not a selective argument made by the blog.

- abscondment 17y agoYou have to look at the WASL specifically and filter on other criteria from there. For example, a bar chart of 10th grade scores comparing low/non-low incomes: http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us/waslTrend.aspx?year=&gradeLevelId=10&waslCategory=-5&chartType=2 http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us/waslTrend.aspx?year=&gr...
