CT’s geographical borders tell a stark story of inequitable access to learning, despite our ongoing efforts to build a more just learning landscape.

Major educational reforms that would unlock access to quality schools and bring other improvements never made it across the legislative finish line.

Research and real-world results show that the presence of high-performing, non-traditional public schools can help raise the bar for entire systems.

At our current pace, CT will never close opportunity gaps between economically disadvantaged, Black, and Hispanic students and their White and economically advantaged counterparts.
