Five Miles Away, a World Apart: One City, Two Schools, and the Story of Educational Opportunity in Modern America by James E. Ryan

4.0

Dense, but excellent history of education trends and policy in America. It’s a few years out of date now (No Child Left Behind being not quite as prominent now) but immensely informative. If you want to know more about how our schools got to the state they are now, you’ll find it out here.
