They describe the interplay of social and economic factors that has made it increasingly hard for schools to counteract the effects of inequality and that has created a widening wedge between low- and high-income students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRestoring Opportunity\u003c\/i\u003e provides detailed portraits of proven initiatives that are transforming the lives of low-income children from prekindergarten through high school.
