Students of Color and the Achievement Gap is a comprehensive,
landmark analysis of an incontrovertible racialized reality in U.S.
K-12 public education---the relentless achievement gap between
low-socioeconomic students of color and their economically
advantaged White counterparts. Award winning author and scholar
Richard Valencia provides an authoritative and systemic treatment
of the achievement gap, focusing on Black and Latino/Latina
students. He examines the societal and educational factors that
help to create and maintain the achievement gap by drawing from
critical race theory, an asset-based perspective and a systemic
inequality approach. By showing how racialized opportunity
structures in society and schools ultimately result in racialized
patterns of academic achievement in schools, Valencia shows how the
various indicators of the achievement gap are actually symptoms of
the societal and school quality gaps. Following each of these
concerns, Valencia provides a number of reform suggestions that can
lead to systemic transformations of K-12 education. Students of
Color and the Achievement Gap makes a persuasive and well
documented case that school success for students of color, and the
empowerment of their parents, can only be fully understood and
realized when contextualized within broader political, economic,
and cultural frameworks.
