This Schott Foundation report details four-year graduation rates during the 2012-13 school year of black, white, and Latino males nationally, by state, and in major urban districts, finding that a systemic lack of equity in the quality of educational supports and resources for black and Latino students creates an "opportunity gap."
The Schott Foundation presents a picture of vast inequality, with black males continuing to be the race/ethnicity-gender group least likely to graduate high school in four years, as they have been since 2004. The report cites the need to address the "pushout" and "lockout" crisis in the education system, suggesting support-based reform and highlighting positive solutions.
An overwhelming majority of U.S. school districts and states are failing to provide the resources black males need to close the graduation gap. The report breaks down graduation rates for black, non-Hispanic male students by district and state, and compares these rates with their white peers. It also analyzes states by education inequity and National Assessment of Educational Progress scores.

The report presents findings on how to build a social movement and includes worksheets to serve as a template.
