Science gains for Black students in the South highlights desegregation
A National Assessment report shows nine year old Black students in the Southeast improved in science from 1969 to 1973 while similar gains were not seen nationwide. Whites in the region also fared better in some ages though overall declines persisted elsewhere. The study credits desegregation and integrated schools for improved Black performance and notes caution in attributing outcomes to race alone.
