Nation's Report Card: Education gap between Black, white WI students continues

A new report from The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), known as the Nation's Report Card, shows the education gap between Black and white students in Milwaukee has not gotten better since the pandemic. "One out of five children here in Milwaukee can read and do math at grade level. That means four out of five children are not at grade level," said Brittany Kinser.

Kinser also believes schools should be transparent as possible so parents can choose the best place to send their children.
