RAND researchers explore how intermediaries use school networks and continuous improvement processes to address disparities in high school graduation and college enrollment rates among Black and Latino students and students experiencing poverty.

RAND researchers examined 25 of these networks to understand how they operate and the factors that contribute to strong networks.
