  2. Achievement Gap - Definition • The achievement gap is the difference in achievement, whether expressed as a percentage of a population, or an average score, or any other metric, between two groups of students, grouped on any of a number of variables (race, lunch status, etc.).  The gap can be the difference on proficiency, growth, participation, etc.  Efforts to close the gap should result in the "lower" group moving closer to the "upper" group.  However, the difference should not be closed by the "upper" group losing ground.
