| Short Description: | Little work has been done focusing specifically on the academic attainment of Black males in our schools and how it is contributing to the destructive pattern overall. This report tackles the issues head on by conducting a first-time analysis of data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on how Black males are performing academically. |
| Annotation: | The nation’s young Black males are in a state of crisis. They do not have the same opportunities as their male or female counterparts across the country. Little work has been done focusing specifically on the academic attainment of Black males in our schools and how it is contributing to the destructive pattern overall. This report tackles the issues head on by conducting a first-time analysis of data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on how Black males are performing academically. It looks at the large central cities most critically, because it is in our urban schools that nearly 30 percent of all Black males in the nation are educated. |
