It is no secret we have an achievement gap in education. In my home state of Minnesota, overall proficiency in reading was close to 60% on last spring’s state assessment whereas 40% of students qualifying for free and/or reduced lunch reached proficiency. Even greater gaps were seen in the state math and science assessments between economic student groups. This is not new information. We are all well aware that students in the middle class, or from the “mainstream”, perform better as measured by written assessments than students from the working class.
