Abstract

The policy problem that centers this research is the academic achievement gap in United States schools. The achievement gap refers to any significant and/or persistent disparity in academic performance or educational attainment between different groups of students, such as white students and students of color, for example, or students from higher-income and lower-income. The statistics provided within this poster showcase how the novel Corona Virus Pandemic has widened already existing gaps in academic achievement between white students and students of color. This research allows us to propose a public policy change to combat the abyss forming between the measurable academic achievement of our American children.
