Book excerpt: In a nation that holds equal opportunity as its most fundamental ideal, poor children--especially poor minority children--usually receive a lower-quality education than their better-off peers. But some schools have beaten the odds. Good Schools in Poor Neighborhoods contrasts highly effective schools serving urban, low-income, minority youth with their more typical counterparts. Highlighted are two disparate schools: one serving predominately African American students in a large northeastern city and one serving Latino students in the Southwest. Through solid data from original research, as well as vignettes from principals, teachers, parents, and students, a picture of exceptional schools emerges to guide policymakers and practitioners.
