ProPublica's analysis found that all too often, states and schools provide poor students fewer educational programs like Advanced Placement, gifted and talented programs, and advanced math and science classes. Studies have linked participation in these programs with better outcomes later in life. Our analysis uses free and reduced-price lunch to estimate poverty at schools. We based our findings on the most comprehensive data set of access to advanced classes and special programs in U.S. public schools — known as the Civil Rights Data Set— released by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.

Tomlin Middle School's enrollment rate for gifted and talented is 9 percent.

Switzerland Point Middle School is a lower-poverty school than Tomlin Middle School, with 4 percent of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school enrolls 8 percent of students in its gifted and talented program. The school is located in St. Johns, Fla.

These data points were reported by schools and districts to the Office for Civil Rights. For more information about the data, see our full methodology.
