Michigan's vast Asian-Black academic performance gap
We already discussed the fact that Detroit schools receive more money per pupil than other districts, but have lower test scores.
Does this trend hold true for other majority black districts?
Yes. Flint City School District is over 80% black and has a budget of $13.1k per pupil per year. Grand Rapids Public Schools is only about 20% white, with the rest split between blacks and Latinos. They have a budget of $11.9k per pupil. The River Rouge School District is 70% black and 15% Latino. They have a budget of $13.1k per pupil.
Cadilac Area Public Schools is 93% white. Their budget is $9.3k per student. Traverse City Area Public Schools is 91% white. They have a budget of $9.7k per pupil.
Majority black public school districts in Michigan universally receive more money per pupil that majority white public school districts.
But what about proficiency test scores?
The state of Michigan published a report on proficiency test scores and race. Click here for the full report in pdf format. Below is graphs of state proficiency test in math and English.
Asians absolutely dominate in every single category. Blacks trail in every single category. You could say that Asian immigrants to the USA, on average, are among the top performers of their nations. Asians compete to come to the USA to go to college and then many stay. Other Asian immigrants come to the USA specifically to take advantage of Federal taxpayer subsidized small business loans to immigrants. These are people who tend to be intelligent and ambitious.
Ok, but Latinos immigrants, on average, are from poor underperforming families. Many come to the USA to do menial labor. Their children still outperform black Americans.
“For each subject, the relative performance of the racial/ethnic groups remained relatively stable, with Asian students scoring highest and African-American students scoring lowest.” – Michigan Department of Education
