Oregon Bets on Black; Black Loses
From the Associated Press:
Just 25 percent of African American students in Oregon will graduate from high school, by far the lowest rate in the nation, according to a new survey released Tuesday by an education research group. The national average graduation rate for black students is 51.6 percent, according to the study by Editorial Projects in Education, the Maryland-based nonprofit organization that publishes the influential newspaper Education Week.
The next lowest percentage was Michigan, at 31.6%.
