As Texas schools ramp up college and career preparatory programs, Kinder Institute finds persistent gaps
A new assessment of the Texas public school system's approach to career and college readiness over the past 10 years has found that despite some impressive gains for some students, it has failed to close the achievement gap for economically disadvantaged students. That's one takeaway from a new Kinder Institute for Urban Research report that examines how Texas evaluates schools around college, career or military readiness after graduation. The study also finds that under the state's evolving policies, overall readiness levels remain flat, and the gap between economically disadvantaged students and their peers hasn't budged in a decade.
