Schools That Overcome
Submitted by Lance T. Izumi, J.D. on 10.9.2002
Listen to the finger-pointing comments of many public school officials and one would think that it’s impossible for poor, minority students to perform well academically. Limited parental involvement, limited English ability, low parental education, and a litany of other excuses supposedly absolve public schools of responsibility for low student achievement. A new report by the Pacific Research Institute (PRI), however, explodes these myths by highlighting high-performing, high-poverty public schools in California.
