"We'll know the Achievement Gap is closed
when the diversity of our community
is reflected in the full continuum of
local employment occupations."
—Saint Paul NEAT
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.
