- Students come to school with an Achievement Gap, predicted by income.
- Students who are behind before school starts are more likely to miss a lot of school.
- Research shows that students progress at a similar rate during the school year, but the gap widens over summer.
Solving the "Achievement Gap" is not just about schools, testing, and accountability. There are community- and national responsibilities to ensuring that all kids show up at school, and leave school prepared to succeed.
