Report: Black students’ exclusion from high-quality math has dire consequences

A report by The 74 reveals that Black students are historically excluded from high-quality math education, leading to dire academic and professional outcomes. Data indicates that only 6% of these students are enrolled in AP math classes. This systemic exclusion creates significant barriers to success. The report emphasizes the severe consequences of this disparity, featuring examples such as students at Eastern Senior High School in Washington, D.C., who face these educational challenges within the system.
