A Racial
Justice Report Card
A Racial Justice Report Card. A
school administrator wants to know if Latinos have the same
educational opportunities as other students in the school
district. Latino graduation rates are low, but what do the
numbers really mean?
Three African American parents discover that their kids, in
separate incidents, have each been suspended for
“disrespecting” their teacher. Are these isolated incidents
or are they indicative of a broader racial pattern?
Making the Grade can help answer that question. It is a new
tool to assess how your schools measure up to racial equity
standards. This easy-to-use computer program walks
journalists, parents, students, or teachers through a series
of research tasks. Making the Grade then produces an “A”
through “F” grade and explains where the school or district
is failing their responsibility to equal education.
