Farmington Public Schools is a member of the Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN)
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. More information can be found on MSAN's web site at www.msan.wceruw.org.
