A new report by the Schott Foundation for Public Education ranks the states on the graduation rates of black males in their high schools and calls for new efforts to close achievement gaps.
The report lists Michigan as the state with the lowest high-school graduation rate for black males. As of 2006, 33 percent of the black males in its high schools graduated on time, compared with 74 percent of the state’s non-Hispanic white male students. Also on the report’s list of the 10 states with the lowest high-school graduation rates for black males (in order of lowest to highest) were Wisconsin, South Carolina, Louisiana, Florida, New York, Nevada, Illinois, Georgia, and Wyoming.
