Opportunity and Equity: Enrollment and Outcomes of Black and Latino Males in Boston Public Schools

Two reports, commissioned by Boston Public Schools (BPS), representing the most comprehensive analysis ever completed on Black and Latino males, who make up 40% of students in the district. The first study revealed the increasing diversity of Black and Latino males in BPS and the stark opportunity gaps throughout the school system that contribute to wide attainment gaps for these students. The second report examines four Boston public schools in which Black and Latino male students are doing comparably better than their peers. It features case studies that identify promising educational models, policies, and practices associated with increased engagement and improved outcomes for Black and Latino males in BPS.
