Noguera's views of education reform are colored by anecdote: he has been around the block, seen schools struggle with closing the achievement gap, and worked with poor minority students. "City Schools" has an optimistic tone, but many of conclusions are vague and politically oriented: the reference to Paolo Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" in the last chapter betray his leftist viewpoint. Which in itself is not a bad thing, but Noguera recycles a lot of the buzzwords - like "empowerment"- that have been in vogue in education schools since the '70s, with very little effect on the real world of the classroom.

Pedro Noguera argues that higher standards and more tests, by themselves, will not make low-income urban students any smarter and the schools they attend more successful without substantial investment in the communities in which they live. Drawing on extensive research performed in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond, Noguera demonstrates how school and student achievement is influenced by social forces such as demographic change, poverty, drug trafficking, violence, and social inequity. Readers get a detailed glimpse into the lives of teachers and students working "against the odds" to succeed. Noguera sends a strong message to those who would have urban schools "shape up or shut down": invest in the future of these students and schools, and we can reach the kind of achievement and success that typify only more privileged communities. Public schools are the last best hope for many poor families living in cities across the nation. Noguera gives politicians, policymakers, and the public its own standard to achieve, provide the basic economic and social support so that teachers and students can get the job done!
