Urban Student Achievement Task Force

The focus of this task force is to study the achievement gap between urban school districts and their non-urban counterparts, exploring programs that are helping students achieve, and bringing attention to successful urban schools. The Urban Student Achievement Task Force launched the CUBE School Climate Survey Research Project to spotlight the importance of school climate as a factor in student achievement.
