The Achievement Gap is much more than meeting basic standards. It's access to opportunities in higher education and higher-paying careers.
We'll know when the Achievement Gap is closed when the diversity of our community is reflected in:
- secondary challenge class participation and high school completion rates
- higher education participation and completion rates
- the full continuum of local employment occupations
We'll know when ALL our children are prepared to succeed in the 21st century.
