UCLA's Information Studies on California Schools

The UCLA’s Graduate School of Education and Information Studies has just released its state report which looks at the outcomes in California schools in light of the conditions we provide.

They have highlighted two sorts of gaps: a) the national gap whereby California schools on average provide less resources than almost all other states; and b) the racial opportunity gap whereby California schools serving the highest proportions of African American, Latino, and American Indian students experience far more opportunity problems than other schools in the state.

You can access this state report, as well as supplementary reports on Latino and African American students, at www.EdOpp.org.

Please share this valuable information with your districts, councils and units.
