A recent blog post by Walt Gardner ("The Hard Truth About the Achievement Gap," placed the blame for the achievement gap on one group above others: parents.

The non-marital birth rate to women age 24 and under was 71 percent in 2017. Here's what that means for educational outcomes and schools, according to guest blogger Ian Rowe.

Achievement gaps in math between Latino students and their white counterparts set in before kindergarten, says a new report by Child Trends' Hispanic Institute.

Flipped classrooms have been getting attention as a way for teachers to find more time for activities and individual support during the regular school day, but a new study cautions that the model could trade short-term gains for wider achievement gaps.

White teachers are generally less optimistic about their black students' chances of obtaining a four-year degree than black teachers—and those lowered expectations could become "self-fulfilling prophecies" when students internalize them or when teachers change their approach to students as a result,

Does a student have a fixed or a growth mindset? That's the wrong question for us to measure, argues researcher Dave Paunesku.

As black-white achievement gaps widen in schools, so, too, do disparities in discipline rates between black and white students, according to a study published Wednesday of 2,000 schools.

What we call education inequality defines how—and even if—we solve it, write three researchers.

In 50 years, the achievement gap has been unchanged, with the poorest 10 percent of students performing three to four years behind the wealthiest 10 percent of peers, finds a new study in the journal Education Next.

A new analysis finds that high-poverty schools are the least effective. But why those schools stifle achievement is harder to figure out.

Black students are not to blame for their lack of educational opportunities, argues assistant principal Eric Higgins.

Why don’t black students perform as well as white students on tests? One reporter considers her personal history to understand this disparity.

The way education media and policymakers frame education debates can have longer-term effects on how the public thinks about students, and which policies they are likely to support to improve students' learning.
