Board of Education, schools remain heavily segregated by race and ethnicity.  \nWhat are the consequences of this lack of progress in integrating schools for black children?  \n It depresses education outcomes for black students; as shown in this report, it lowers their standardized test scores.  \n It widens performance gaps between white and black students.  \n It reflects and bolsters segregation by economic status, with black students being more likely than white students to attend high-poverty schools.  \n It means that the promise of integration and equal opportunities for all black students remains an ideal rather than a reality.  \nIn contrast, when black students have the opportunity to attend schools with lower concentrations of poverty and larger shares of white students they perform better, on average, on standardized tests.  \nBlack children are still relegated to separate and unequal schools  \nFindings on school segregation and student performance come from the National Center for Education Statistics’ National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the most comprehensive study of education performance in the country. We use the most recently released data to describe school segregation and its consequences for math performance of eighth-graders. These data show that only about one in eight white students (12.9%) attends a school where a majority of students are black, Hispanic, Asian, or American Indian. (We refer to this group collectively as students of color hereafter.) In contrast, nearly seven in 10 black children (69.2%) attend such schools (see Figure A) .  \nAs shown in Figure B, black students are also in economically segregated schools. Less than one in three white students (31.3%) attend a high-poverty school, compared with more than seven in 10 black students (72.4%) .  \n1  \nFigure A  \nFigure B  \nBlack children are five times as likely as white children to attend schools that are highly segregated by race and ethnicity  \nShares of white and black eighth-graders attending schools with a high concentration of students of color, 2017  \nWhite  \nBlack  \n\n|  | 12.9% |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n\n69. 2%  \nNote: Schools with a high concentration of students of color are those in which 51–100% of students are black, Hispanic, Asian, or American Indian.  \nSource: Author’s analysis of microdata from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) .  \nBlack children are more than twice as likely as white children to attend high-poverty schools  \nShares of white and black eighth-graders attending high-poverty schools, 2017  \nWhite  \nBlack  \n31.3%  \n|  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\n72.4%  \nNote: High-poverty schools are schools in which 51–100% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.  \nSource: Author’s analysis of microdata from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) .  \nIn America, race and poverty are intertwined, doubly disadvantaging black students  \nThe known connection between race/ethnicity and poverty in the United States appears in data on the composition of schools attended by for black children.
