A CASE STUDY NEW YORK CITY THE EFFECTS OF
SEGREGATION
20
THE EFFECTS OF SEGREGATION IN NEW YORK CITY
11 New York City high schools were segregated in
2000/2001. (90 or more Black)
21
THE EFFECTS OF SEGREGATION IN NEW YORK CITY
Of those, one (small) school got more than half
of its Black male students into grade 12 by
2003/4.
22
THE EFFECTS OF SEGREGATION IN NEW YORK CITY
In the big schools it was twice as likely that a
Black male student would be missing from the
senior class than present, and three times as
likely that he would not get a diploma with his
cohort than that he would.
23
THE EFFECTS OF SEGREGATION IN NEW YORK CITY
There are 32 NYC high schools where Black male
students have a better than even chance of
conventional progress from grade 9 to grade 12.
24
THE EFFECTS OF SEGREGATION IN NEW YORK CITY
Of those, all but two either have fewer than 100
Black male students or are less than half
African-American.
25
THE EFFECTS OF SEGREGATION IN NEW YORK CITY
New York City high schools where Black male
students have at least a 5050 chance of
conventional progress from grade 9 to grade 12
enroll about 10,000 of the citys
African-American high school students.
26
THE EFFECTS OF SEGREGATION IN NEW YORK CITY
The others enroll about 90,000 Black students.
