疯客直播 Fe Public Schools鈥 recently released data from state standardized testing shows some bright spots but also a persistent gap in results between schools on the city鈥檚 south side 鈥 which tend to have higher numbers of low-income students and English language learners 鈥 and those in other areas of the district.
