The Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Black Males
For over a decade, the Schott Foundation’s efforts to collect and publish national data on the four-year graduation rates for Black males compared to other sub-groups has been to highlight how the persistent systemic disparity in opportunity creates a climate and perception of a population who is less valued. Since Black lives continue to matter to us, this edition . . . is intended to again alert the nation to the serious reality of a quieter danger that does not instantly end young lives, but creates an all but insurmountable chasm of denied opportunities.
In most states it is easier for the public to track the number of Black and Latino males who are incarcerated than the number who graduate from high school in any given year.
At the national level, the 2012-13 school year estimates indicate a national graduation rate of 59% for Black males, 65% for Latino males and 80% for White males
