Synopsis
The average Black or Hispanic high school student currently achieves at about the same level as the average white student in the lowest quartile of white achievement. This book describes promising strategies for bridging the academic achievement gap, looking at programs that focus on core academic skills, reducing class size, enrolling students in more challenging courses, and creating schools with a culture of success. The editors are senior fellows in the Governance Studies Program at the Brookings Institution. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
