For poor and minority students in Philadelphia, there really are two kinds of schools: those that work and those that don’t. Students who end up in the effective schools achieve significantly better outcomes. This variation in outcomes is not dependent on school type, student
income levels, or other out-of-school factors. By expanding the “system” of effective schools, we can give more students access to a higher quality education.
