Find Answer to Achievement Gap

Wisconsin State Journal Editorial:

Test scores released last week clearly show one of the primary tasks confronting Madison School District 's incoming superintendent, Daniel Nerad:

The district should find more effective ways to educate its rapidly growing populations of foreign-speaking students and lower-income students.

Students from immigrant families and students from lower-income families continue to score low on the annual tests required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

That 's the chief reason the Madison district fell below the state average in 22 of 23 scores.

Many notes and links on the latest Wisconsin scores here.
