Historically Underachieving Group narrows gap in SC

141 schools in SC received "HUGs" for reducing the achievement gap for minority and low-income students. This was based on PACT test scores and compared students who pay full price for lunch to those that are minority and on free or reduced lunch. Seventy Percent of the students at these schools come from families in poverty. For me the most telling part of the results is that the gap between white and black students is much bigger than the gap between white and Hispanic students. Wonder why? Either way this is a step in the right direction.
