Achievement Gap 2006

NWEA researchers have released a new study on the achievement gap. The achievement gap is the difference between the academic performance of students in poor versus wealthy schools and between minority and non-minority students. The study revealed that for every group at every grade, students from poor schools grew less than students from wealthy schools and minority students exhibited less growth than their non-minority peers.
