A 2018 study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that implementing an African-centered curriculum in a predominantly Black high school led to an increase of 25% in the number of students meeting or exceeding state standards in reading and a 34% increase in math scores. |
According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), in 2019, only 15% of Black 4th graders were proficient in reading and 19% in math |
