Abstract
The authors of this report investigated state-level interventions designed to support "advanced learners" from low-income families. The study identified state-level policies that support advanced learning and highlights "disparities in educational outcomes of advanced learners from low-income families." Also included are best practices that states may adopt, and "interventions that have the greatest efficacy." The authors also rate state policies on "what is in place ('inputs') and how high-ability, low-income students currently perform ('outcomes')."
