THRIVE! Equity Audit for Cambridge Public Schools
For decades, Cambridge has grappled with the challenge of resolving deep-seated achievement and opportunity gaps that impact generations of Cambridge young people and the community around them. In 2023, Cambridge Public Schools (CPS) and Cambridge Community Foundation (CCF) partnered with THRIVE!, a social enterprise that uses technology to promote equity in government spending, to understand gaps that arise and help CPS in assessing how to best support all students in reaching their potential.
The report was released at a February 9, 2026 event hosted by CCF, CPS, and My Brother's Keeper Cambridge (MBK). A panel of education experts and civic leaders, moderated by MBK Co-President Tony Clark, gathered to discuss the complexity of the issue and confront an uncomfortable truth: the responsibility belongs to all of us.
