Monday, May 14, 2012

MassINC is compiling a “bluebook” with Gateway City education trends.

Here are some key highlights from Chapter 1:

  • One in four public school students in Massachusetts is enrolled in a Gateway City district
  • Gateway City schools enroll more than one-half of the state’s English language learners and nearly half of all low income students in the Commonwealth
  • Since education reform in 1993, the share of Gateway City students who are low income has grown by 20 percentage points
  • The 3rd grade reading score gap between Gateway City students and the state average has grown from 13 percentage points in 2003 to 15 percentage points in 2011
