New Brief
More Than Just Money: Academic Segregation in California's Richest Counties
Black students in California continue to face academic segregation — large and persistent gaps in outcomes compared to their peers. This isn’t just happening in underfunded districts. Our latest research shows that even in the state’s wealthiest counties, where resources are plentiful, our Black students are consistently left behind.

Data-Informed
Systems-Accountable
At the Lab, we are dedicated to unlocking equal outcomes for Black students and students of color in California. We believe by following the data and holding institutions accountable to student success, equal outcomes for our students are made real.
