a website for educational equity
We created The Education Gap to highlight the disparities in success between lower and higher income schools across counties.
Education is important for the futures of our students, and without equitable education there isn’t equal opportunity to succeed. Making sure students have the same resources is important.
Schools in counties with higher percentages of students in the free-and-reduced meals program have overall lower rates of academic success – including graduation rates and college-going rates.
By highlighting these disparities, we can spread awareness and positively impact the students who need it most.
