Description
As expectations for a highly educated American citizenry rise, what happens in the middle grades matters now more than ever. Success at this level is a prerequisite for entering high school prepared for a college- and career-ready path. The middle grades are the last best chance to identify students at risk of academic failure and get them back on track for high school success. Educators widely accept that much of the difference in student outcomes among schools is directly related to student background. Less widely acknowledged is the great variation in student performance even among schools serving similar student populations.
