Minority Student Achievement Network
DISCOVER • ENGAGE
CHALLENGE • ACHIEVE

The Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN) is a national coalition of multiracial, suburban-urban school districts that have come together to study achievement gaps that exist in their districts. With strikingly similar and disturbing disaggregated achievement data, racial disparities on an array of achievement outcomes demonstrate wide gaps in performance between students of color and their white peers. Since its inception in 1999 MSAN has worked fervently to discover and propose strategies to change school practices and structures that keep these achievement gaps in place. To this end, districts work collaboratively to conduct and publish research, analyze policies, and examine practices that affect the academic performance of students of color, specifically African American and Latino/a students.
