[quote=Anonymous]"    The most relevant study here would be one that controls for school resources, curriculum and teachers as here we have the situation where the lower performing schools have more resources, the same curriculum and same quality of teachers. I’ve looked for such a study but cannot find it - would love to read one though - everything I’ve seen is where kids are moved to higher wealth districts that spend more have better teachers etc.

Excellent point
If the teachers are equally qualified, you have the same curriculum and the same per student funding it suggests the achievement gap might be beyond the scope of what a school system can achieve."

Equal teacher qualification is itself difficult to determine let alone figure out how to implement controls.  For example:

All teachers having masters degrees and 10-15 years of experience teaching classes with narrow demographics IS NOT the same as All teachers having masters degree and 10-15 years of teaching classes with broad demographics.[/quote]
