While increasing the achievement of all students, we will also accelerate the learning of children who have been historically short-changed by the system
All students, regardless of ethnicity, socio-economic status, or ability level will improve their proficiency
The achievement of African-American students in the Pittsburgh Public Schools will increase at a rate that is five percentage points greater than the gains of their peers
