Study Finds Students Underperform in Schools With Large Black Populations:
                             

Federal study sheds new light on racial achievement gap in schools.

As concerns mount over the resegregation of the nation’s public schools, a new federal study shows that black and white students at schools with a high density of black students perform worse than those at schools with a lower density of black students.

The report, released Thursday by the National Center for Education Statistics, the research arm of the U.S. Department of Education, sheds new light on the achievement gap between white and black students and bolsters policymakers’ fears about the ramifications of increasingly segregated schools.

“I think that we all have some sort of anecdotal sense that racial isolation or the resegregation of schools going in that direction is not a good thing,” says acting NCES Commissioner Peggy Carr. “It’s not good for anyone. But being able to define it and put your finger on it … and be more diagnostic about the probable impact was really eye-opening for me.”

The report found that, on average, white students attended schools that were 9 percent black while black students attended schools that were 48 percent black.

Achievement was lower for both black and white students in schools where black students accounted for more than 40% of the student body, compared to schools where black students accounted for less than 20 percent of the student body.

“Students underperform in schools with large black populations” - that’s supposed to be a surprise, I guess.

Students underperform in schools with large black populations / including both black and White students - but “its not good for anyone to have school resegregation”.

                              Can anyone make sense of this Jewish / liberal “reasoning” ??????

                             
Getting bused to go to an integrated school back in the early 70s was a nightmare. When school wasn’t like being in a monkey cage, it was like being in planet of the apes.
