Abstract:
|
According to educational historian David Labaree, there are three goals that the public school system strives to achieve: democratic equality, social efficiency, and social mobility. In essence, a public education is supposed to give children equal opportunities for success in life, regardless of their socioeconomic status. In this study we will look at how effective the current public school system is at providing similar experiences across different districts. To do this we will look at indicators of success in the classrooms and compare them across school districts demographics from the Urban Institute.
