‘CRISIS’ FOR LATINO AND BLACK KIDS - New York City

The city’s efforts to reform its middle schools and close the racial achievement gap haven’t made the grade: Black and Latino eighth-graders still lag far behind their white classmates, according to a critical new report.

A coalition of parents and community groups behind the report is calling on education officials to take urgent measures to address what they call a “middle-school crisis.”
