Concomitantly, there is growing acknowledgement that factors external to schools critically influence academic success. Full-service community schools attempt to narrow "gaps" by convening comprehensive networks, yet, this contemporary movement also reminds us, "there is nothing new under the sun." This book contributes to the educational and socio-historical lexicon through an examination of a segregated school exemplifying contemporary "best practices" instructive on multiple levels to schools in the twenty-first century. |
