Black male graduation rates grim
August 23rd, 2010
Fewer than half of all Black males nationwide graduate from high school according to a new report which paints a grim picture of the current state of education for African-American males.
The findings are part of The 2010 Schott 50 State Report on Black Males in Public Education.
According to the report, only 47 percent of Black males graduated from high school in the 2007-2008 school year, compared to 78 percent for White males. While the disparity is alarming, the authors of the report said they believe it’s not due to the ability of Black males intellectual abilities.
