Virginia is a part of the No Child Left Behind Act, but its opportunities still aren't in favor of minorities. Many children in these minorities are underestimated in the classroom. This year, 68 percent of white students met the math targets, while only 45 percent of black students did. In other words, the achievement gap is 23 percent. By the 2017-2018 school year, Virginia says that 57 percent of black students and 78 percent of white students will need to pass. So six years from now the achievement gap will be at 21 percent.
