LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: How D.C. school reform drove student achievement By Editor On Sep 12, 2021 Last updated Sep 12, 2021 74 Share One of the success stories in American education has been the turnaround of education in the nation’s capital in the decade since school reform was ushered in. Schools in D.C., once ranked among the worst in the country, are now some of the fastest improving. Critics of the changes that included mayoral control of the school system long have argued that statistics purporting to show academic gains actually reflect gentrification and changes in the composition of the student body, not real improvements in the quality of education. A rigorous new study refutes that myth and demonstrates that D.C.’s bold school reform drove the progress in student achievement. 74 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
