SCLC #573 School accreditation gap — 1 of 42 Black secondary

Finding 573. In 17 selected counties: 1 of 42 Black secondary schools met regional standards vs 22 of 49 white high schools. State approval: 13 Black schools lacked it vs two white. Mississippi subset: 0 of 16 Black high schools regional vs 7 of 16 white.

Craft: school counts ≠ student outcomes · regional ≠ state approval (do not add failure counts) · field-study ≠ statewide census · improvements/new construction noted do not erase counts.
