In Florida, Georgia, New York, and California, which together educate more than 25% of the nation’s African Americans, their graduation rates are around 60%

Moreover, in seven states for African Americans and six states for Hispanics, the Cohort Rates remain in the 50s (or in a few cases even in the 40s). Though the white graduation rate is 89% or higher in eleven states, there are no states where this is true for African American and Hispanic students.
