achievement gaps

Achievement gaps refer to the differences in academic performance between groups of students, often based on factors like race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or background. These gaps highlight disparities in test scores, graduation rates, or other educational outcomes. They can result from various factors, including unequal access to quality education, resources, support, or opportunities. Addressing achievement gaps aims to create a more equitable education system where all students have the chance to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances.
