Title:	EXAMINING DIFFERENT SCHOOL STRUCTURES’ EFFECT ON REDUCING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP BETWEEN AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND WHITE STUDENTS
Author:	Reini, Eric W.
Description:	The fact that an achievement gap between White and African- American students exists is undisputed. The reasons for this gap are many and complex. Evidence does exist, though, that this gap can be narrowed and potentially eliminated. Evidence also exists that demonstrates that when the gap in academic achievement becomes equal African-Americans are more likely to complete college and earn nearly the same income as Whites. Educators must understand the many reasons for the achievement gap and find ways to narrow the gap and further ensure the future success of all students. It is the purpose for this thesis to explore the reasons for the achievement gap and some possible solutions for narrowing the gap. Specifically, the paper will show one possible solution – the Academy structure.
