Upwards of 40% of black and Latino students still attend racially isolated schools (where white pupils represent less than 10% of the enrollment)

The average black or Latino student attends a school that is 75% minority. Meanwhile, more than four in five white students attend schools that are majority-white — even though whites barely make up 50% of our school population. Classes that are racially and socio-economically diverse are likely to have especially large achievement gaps between their high and low performers. On average, upper-middle-class white students from college-educated two-parent families tend to achieve at very high levels and poor minority students from single-parents homes tend to achieve at very low levels.
