Yes We Can! The Schott 50 State Report on Public Education and Black Males 2010

Schott's latest biennial report on black males and public education reveals that the overall  graduation rate (2007/8) for black males in the U.S. was only 47 percent. The report shows that out of fifty states, half have graduation rates for black male students below the national average. In addition to a national summary and detailed state-by-state data, the report highlights the success of New Jersey's Abbott plan, which demonstrates that when equitable resources are available to all students, systemic change at the state level can yield significant results. New Jersey is now the only state with a significant black population with a greater than 65 percent high school graduation rate for black male students.
