Findings from the study of school gardens and the achievement gap:

• Black and low-income students are overrepresented in schools without gardens (91% Black in schools without gardens, 54% Black in schools with gardens).
• In schools with gardens, students are more likely to be proficient or advanced in math, reading, and science.
• The hypothesis that school gardens attenuate race and class achievement gaps was not supported.
• When controlling for income, the relation between gardens and test scores is weaker but still exists.
• When controlling for racial composition, the relation between gardens and test scores is nonsignificant.
• School gardens do not mitigate the relationship between race and class composition and academic performance.
