Interweaving vivid portraits of day-to-day school life with clear and evenhanded analysis, Patrick J. McCloskey takes us through an eventful year at Rice High School, as staff, students, and families make heroic efforts to prevail against society's expectations. McCloskey's riveting narrative brings into sharp relief an urgent public policy question: whether (and how) to save these schools that provide the only viable option for thousands of poor and working-class students-and thus fulfill a crucial public mandate. Just as significantly, The Street Stops Here offers invaluable lessons for low-performing urban public schools.Catholic high schoolsNew York (State)New YorkAfrican AmericansEducation (Secondary)New York (State)New YorkMinoritiesEducation (Secondary)New York (State)New YorkHarlem (New York, N.Y.)Catholic high schoolsAfrican AmericansEducation (Secondary)MinoritiesEducation (Secondary)371.071/27471McCloskey Patrick1896350MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968063103321The street stops here4550911UNINA
