Achievement gaps in almost every academic measure based on race and socioeconomic status exist from before kindergarten through adulthood. Excellence gaps, though less well-studied, are thought to be just as prevalent. Causes for these gaps have eluded researchers for many years. The problem addressed by the current study was that the extent of an excellence gap among White, Black, and Hispanic gifted and talented students in Dallas ISD had yet to be identified and studied. All middle and high school gifted and talented students who took the STAAR Algebra I test from 2012 to 2017 in Dallas ISD particiated in this study. The purpose of this quantitative comparative study was to determine the extent of the excellence gap among White, Black, and Hispanic gifted and talented secondary students in Dallas ISD. Equity theory, which focuses on how people perceive events that happen around them, provides the theoretical framework for this study. Archived data containing students' demographic information and STAAR Algebra I scores was used yo answer the research question: What are the differences in STAAR Algebra I scores amongst White, Black, and Hispanic gifted and talented students within Dallas ISD? Non-parametric statistical tests were used to determine significance as the data was found to be positively skewed. Results indicate that significant gaps (p = .000) in test scores based on race, socio-economic status, and school of attendance exist. However, results indicate that neither socioeconomic status, school of attendance, nor year of testing account for a significant part of the racial excellence gap in the district. Recommendations for further research in other academic areas and for training all teachers in recognizing deficit thinking in themselves and in students are made.
