“We view education as the springboard that puts the American dream within reach, yet access to educational opportunity in this country remains unequal,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said. About 522,000 students, or about 1% of all students, went to schools where fewer than half the teachers met all state certification requirements. In those schools, 66% of students were Black or Latino.
Black students represented 15% of all high school students, but made up just 8% of students in Advanced Placement science and 6% in AP math. Latino students represented 27% of all high school students but made up 20% in AP science and 19% in AP math. White and Asian students, by contrast, were overrepresented in AP classes.
“These new CRDC data reflect troubling differences in students’ experiences in our nation’s schools,” said Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Catherine E. Lhamon. “We remain committed to working with school communities to ensure the full civil rights protections that federal law demands.”
