Bridging the Gap

By Meredith Metzler | September 10, 2016

Bridging the Gap is an in-depth look at Madison’s racial academic achievement gap. This issue spans the city and touches almost every aspect of our community. The causes of these academic inequalities run deep and need to be addressed. Many schools are actively seeking solutions. But how well can these efforts narrow a racial academic achievement gap that is now built into the system?
