2012: State of Students of Color and American Indian Students

Welcome to the 2012 Report by the Minnesota Minority Education Partnership (MMEP) of the “State of Students of Color and American Indian Students in Minnesota.”

Since 2001, MMEP has issued these reports about every two years. We first did so before the term “achievement gap” was coined and in the year U.S. President Bush and Senator Ted Kennedy passed the landmark “No Child Left Behind” federal law that put the issue of racial disparities in K-12 education outcomes on a new level of public policy.
