On August 18, 2010, a 50-state report from the Schott Foundation for Public Education has come to a dispiriting conclusion: public education is failing black male students. Nationwide, the graduation rate for this demographic of students is a paltry 47 percent and in some major cities, it’s perilously low–in New York City and Philadelphia, for example, only 28 percent of black males complete high school on time.
