The Achievement Gap

Issues of Competition, Class, and Race

Richard C. Hunter

RoSusan Bartee

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The educational reform initiative, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), seeks to manifest best practices to produce improved results that are linked to issues of competition, class, and race. The quest for good teaching and quality learning within today’s standardized system, however, is only one component to measure academic outcomes. It is imperative that testing does not become the marginalized remedy of educational inequalities because school accountability exceeds the boundaries of pedagogy and curriculum.

Key Words: achievement gap • No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) • school choice • equity • access
