Get the Facts
The Education Equality Project strongly believes that “what gets measured gets done.” For far too long we have lacked the necessary data to track and understand the breadth, depth, and complexity of the education achievement gap. Luckily, that is changing. Today we have more information about success and failure in public education than ever before, helping us to better understand and solve the achievement gap. In this section, we highlight some of the most telling facts about the achievement gap –- showcasing what we know about both the problem and its solutions. You can choose to view all of these, or select to view facts by categories. If you have questions or are looking for more information, don’t hesitate to email us at: info@educationequalityproject.org.
