Annually, the US spends $9,644 per
student compared to $22,600 per
prison inmate.
By 4th grade, African-American
and Latino students are, on average,
nearly three academic years behind
their white peers.
Only 10% of students at Tier 1
colleges (146 most selective) come from
the bottom half of the income distribution.
Barely half of African-American
and Latino students graduate from high
school, with African American
students graduating at 51%,
Latinos at 55%, and their white
counterparts at 76%.
The average student eligible for
free/reduced lunch is approximately
two years of learning behind the
average ineligible student.
The huge difference in academic
performance between students from
different economic circumstances
and racial/ethnic backgrounds is what
we call the achievement gap.
One key challenge educators face
is the importance of encouraging girls
to excel in math, science and
computer science studies. As technology
continues to drive the world of
business, those challenged or generally
disinterested in science and math
will be left behind. In fact, that's
exactly what's happening.
