Abstract
This report represents an attempt to create a common understanding of the challenge facing many of the schools in Delaware with respect to the achievement gap separating minority and low income student performance from that of other students. It contains a school-by-school description of achievement gaps in the areas of reading and mathematics as measured by the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP).
The hope is that the information provided in this report will promote an active
dialogue that translates into the dissemination of concrete strategies for closing existing gaps and increasing the academic performance of all students in
Delaware schools.
