Ann Arbor Public Schools did better on state tests last spring compared to other schools in Washtenaw County, but many students (including those of color, English-language learners, and those facing economic or learning challenges) still lag behind.
Officials plan professional development (teacher training, new curriculum, and student surveys) to close the gaps.
