America’s most progressive cities have alarming racial gaps in student academic achievement and graduation rates, according to new report.
The study points out that black students in Washington, D.C., have a 62-point deficit in math proficiency rates compared with white students, the highest disparity among the progressive cities.
Stewart stressed that the report"highlights a fixable problem" local politicians could remedy by allocating more funds to their school systems, soliciting advice from families on how best to educate students and by implementing programs that"monitor year-over-year" progress.Progressive cities, on average, have achievement gaps in math and reading that are 15 and 13 percentage points higher than in conservative cities.
In contrast, three of the 12 most conservative cities—Virginia Beach, Virginia; Anaheim, California; and Fort Worth, Texas—have effectively closed or even erased the gap in at least one of the academic categories examined.
