Summary
Through an investigation of the dynamics of race and achievement at a large public high school with a diverse student population, the authors reveal the hidden inequities of schools where academic tracking, cultural perceptions, curricular access, and after-school activities contribute to students' success or failure, and explain what educators and parents can do to help close the gap.
