Making the Grade

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.
