  • Schools in poor neighborhoods had fewer students per teacher/staff/administrator than schools in affluent neighborhoods. That seemed strong evidence that claims of disparities were exaggerated — if anything, poor schools got more resources — but there was one significant data point missing. People argued that East End schools couldn’t hang on to more experienced teachers who used their seniority to snag jobs in schools with easier students to work with. In effect, by this line of logic, affluent schools got the better teachers — a qualitative factor that would not be captured by raw staff-to-pupil ratios.

    ""The challenge now is to move beyond the temporary disappointment of an accreditation rating and work together - school divisions shoulder to shoulder with the department - to share best practices and implement the instructional strategies that will move our students toward college and career readiness," state Superintendent of Public Instruction Steven R. Staples said in a statement. While 68 percent of Virginia's 1,827 public schools achieved Fully Accredited status for 2014-2015, the number of schools that were Accredited with Warning increased from 393 last year to 545 this year. Last year 77 percent of Virginia schools were rated as Fully Accredited. The year before, 93 percent earned Full Accreditation." The purpose of this article was to display how the standardized test scores have declined over the years, specifically in schools around the Richmond area. Many schools have been accredited with warnings, but others, including Wilder Middle School, were denied.

    "Many parents told CBS 6 last May that they believed the county treated the East End differently regarding school resources and educational opportunities." According to this article posted in 2012, the treatment that schools in the West end receive is much better than the treatment of schools in the East end. The West End was given a new middle and high school in 2010, which the East End hasn't had a new high school in over 50 years. Along with that, there was a large achievement gap between african american and white students, with white students having a much higher passing rate than african american students.

    "Parents believed because there are more white people, businesses, and higher taxes being paid in the West End, schools there got more attention." ""Even with our African-American students in our West End, the gap still existed, so this is not about East End or West End," Russo said." This article says that a possible reason to why there is an opportunity gap is because of the difference in social classes. Some people believe that since higher taxes are being paid, there are more whites, and more businesses on the West End, the  school located there are getting more attention. Although, Pat Russo confirmed that the African American students in the West End still create the gap within the school.

    "Parents believed because there are more white people, businesses, and higher taxes being paid in the West End, schools there got more attention." "County data showed on reading SOL tests, 94% of whites passed compared to 82% of blacks." This article is from CBS 6 and specifically talks about Henrico County. It discusses the achievement gap in schools between the West End and the East End schools, including neglect from the county for the East End.

    "Coyner explained there is a huge gap in achievement between those who live in a higher income school and lower income neighborhoods. Reading and math SOL tests for students in disadvantaged areas have dropped dramatically over the last three school years. Those in most schools in Chesterfield have dropped as well. SOL testing of students during the 2013-14 school year indicated that the pass rate of non-disadvantaged students was 85 percent in reading and 83 percent in math, while students who came from disadvantaged homes had a pass rate of 58 percent in reading and 63 percent in math." This article outlines the achievement and educational gaps in Henrico, Chesterfield, and the City of Richmond. It displays the educational differences between privileged and non-privileged students.

    "The greatest increase across the area in childhood poverty since 1990 is Henrico, a 70 percent increase, according to data collected by Moeser. His data concludes that Chesterfield is next with a 41 percent increase in poverty. Those living in poverty, in the suburbs, across the country, have grown more than in the cities. Poverty in the suburbs has grown to 56 percent in the suburbs versus 44 percent in the cities." This articles describes the poverty, opportunity, and achievement gaps between advanced and disadvantaged kids in Chesterfield and Henrico. Researchers found shocking results and are trying to make the gaps smaller in the two counties.

    "Education and poverty are closely related according to speakers at Ms. Coyner's forum. "What I tried to do is bring the data back to what we all know as our neighborhood schools," Coyner said. Coyner tracked poverty in schools using the free and reduced lunch program with one caveat; She said that just because a student is eligible for free or reduced lunch, it doesn't mean they use it. Title 1 schools are another way to track poverty in schools. There are 16 elementary and 13 middle schools in the Title 1 program in Chesterfield." This article was helpful in analyzing the local education gap and what factors might play a role in it. What is mainly suggested here is that poverty is the main factor controlling the education gap. This also talks a little about income and poverty in Richmond.

Students from low-income New York City families of all ethnic groups have little chance of being tested for gifted-and-talented program eligibility. Few black and Hispanic students are selected for the city's top exam schools, such as Stuyvesant and the Bronx High School of Science." This article discusses the inequality in education that kids from low income families receive in comparison to kids living in economically advantaged neighborhoods. Children living in better neighborhoods are more likely to receive a proper and advanced education simply because of their class and the place they live.

    " In New York City, the nation's largest school system, on average student outcomes and their opportunity to learn are more determined by the neighborhood where a child lives, than his or her abilities." Children are having their futures predetermined by the enviorment and the school systems they are a part of. This leads children with promising talents unable to utilize them due to lack of resources in their schools.

While there are individual differences between students, this gap is evident when comparing overall student groups. To that end, the Henrico County community is invited to engage with the school division in this important work.  This webpage will serve as a portal for information about efforts to close the gap.  It will also be a place for the community to identify issues, share ideas, and celebrate successes.  " This article talks about the academic gap between the different races in Henrico County schools.

This is not an acceptable outcome for the students of Henrico County. The school board, the school division leadership, and the faculty and staff of every school is committed to closing this gap. " This article from the HCPS website confirms that there is an opportunity gap in henrico county schools. However, it focuses on the fact that this gap can be closed, and everything should be done to do so.

According to review of 2009-10 data, none of the city's strongest schools are located in the poorest neighborhoods of Harlem, the South Bronx, and central Brooklyn. Schools with the highest scores are found in northeastern Queens, the and the Upper East Side.

    "A key goal of education is to make sure that every student has a chance to excel, both in school and in life. Increasingly, children's success in school determines their success as adults, determining whether and where they go to college, what professions that they enter, and how much they are paid." This article talks about the inequality of school quality, including the resources that are provided at the school and the qualification of teachers. This report shows that children at a disadvantage start kindergarten with substantially lower thinking skills than the other more advantaged kids. These kids that are now at a disadvantage then continue through their education in low-resource schools, which then increases the inequality they began with.

The primary school started Maori, Samoan and Cook Island Maori bilingual units in the 1970s and established a French unit in 1996. Madden-Smith, who had been involved with the school since 1999, said it had a "world-renowned" bilingual unit but recent principals had "no idea" about bilingual education."

The only group that saw significant gains was households headed by high-earning college grads. Labor economists call this "the hollowing out of the middle." Globalization and technological change have made middle-skill, middle-income jobs harder to find. Low-skill, low-paying jobs have stuck around. And there are high-paying jobs for those at the top with the skills to put technology to profitable use. One thing to note: That bump in 2000 for incomes among bachelor's degree holders does not reflect reality - it's the result of a temporary change in the way the census reported income for those at the top. Does age make much of a difference in income inequality? Yes, especially for households headed by people between 45 and 65. In those groups, income for the middle class and the poor actually fell in the past 20 years."

    "Overall, schools in poorer districts spent $8,733 per pupil less in 2012 than those from wealthier ones, an inequity that grew by nearly 9% from before Cuomo took office in 2011, according to the study by a coalition of education advocacy groups opposing many of the reforms pushed by Cuomo." The highlighted portion and the article itself describe the reasons in which the richer schools get a better education than the poorer schools. It shows it in statistics and shows the advantages and disadvantages of attending one of these schools. The students in the richer schools move on to be more successful in life and will not struggle later on. Further, another key point is that it is important that the schools know how to spend their money wisely for the education for students.

At 6:38 a.m., they catch a city bus that takes them to Fourth and Broad streets, where they await another bus that usually gets them to school late." The school should find a way to put them on a school bus. TJ already houses an IB program, so why couldn't they just adjust a bus route to include the Gray brothers. Also, the city bus could pose a safety issue, as well as the fact that they are arriving at school late, so this is taking valuable education time away from them.

    "Currently, Richmond's youth in low-income neighborhoods do not have equal educational opportunities. They lack essential resources for academic learning during the summer and after school time that more-resourced families and communities are able to provide. Schools in Richmond's high-poverty neighborhoods do not have the capacity to provide critical, individualized attention, and rigorous, out-of-school time learning opportunities to children who are motivated to learn. Lacking these supports, low-income children are ten times more likely than their affluent peers to drop out of high school." This article thoroughly explains how low-income communities can't afford the necessary resources for a good education, especially in Richmond. Also, it explains the consequences of this. For example, a bright student in one of these communities will lose a great educational opportunity due to economical hardships.

  • Students who live in disadvantaged areas should have access to the supports and resources they need to have a decent shot at a quality education. But the reality is much different. According to A Rotting Apple: Education Redlining in New York City by the Schott Foundation for Public Education, students of color who live in the lowest income areas of New York City  are actually less likely to receive the necessary support to give them that critical step-up. “Unequal learning opportunities for poor students and students of color have become the status quo in New York City,” said John Jackson, president of the Schott Foundation. “The current policy landscape does very little to give these young people access to the supports, types of schools or qualified teachers that give them a substantive opportunity to learn.”
