This section includes United States Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics state and district data for Black and White male students for states in which there are districts listed in the preceding section and for those districts themselves. Data are also included from the United States Department of Education Office of Civil Rights 2004 Elementary and Secondary School Survey concerning Special Education, Gifted and Talented and Discipline reports; National Assessment of Educational Progress; and Advanced Placement.

Certain types of data are benchmarked at the highest level obtained by one of the states or districts included. It is assumed that the goal in each case is to close the racial and gender achievement gaps.

At the risk of repetition, each section is designed to be self-contained for the convenience of readers interested only in specific districts or states.
