Serving Every Student

The American education system is, by some measures, the envy of the world. Yet in every state, there is profound inequality, with too many students locked out of the opportunities a quality school provides.

The Atlantic’s fifth annual Education Summit convened teachers, principals, policymakers, higher education officials, parents and students to consider how American schools can move closer to that elusive ideal: giving every child an equal chance to succeed.
