Abstract

Excellence gaps - disparities in advanced academic achievement - between racial groups appear by age 8 or 9 and persist throughout secondary school in the United States. About one-third of the gap is due to socio-economic status and one-tenth to school factors, indicating that policies should address both educational and local environments.
