This important book provides African American parents with the knowledge to diversify Kā€“12 school choices beyond traditional neighborhood public schools in order to optimize the educational chances of their own children, and it will help educators and policymakers to close the black-white academic achievement gap throughout America.

Closing the Kā€“12 achievement gap is critical to the future welfare of African American individuals, families, and communitiesā€”and to the future of our nation as a whole. The black-white academic achievement gapā€”the significant statistical difference in academic performance between African American students and their white peersā€”is the single greatest impediment to achieving racial equality and social justice in America.

Black Educational Choice provides parents, citizens, educators, and policymakers the critical knowledge they need to leverage the national trend toward increasing and diversifying Kā€“12 school choice beyond traditional neighborhood public schools. Parents can use this information to optimize the success of their own African American children, while policymakers and educators can apply these insights to help close the black-white academic achievement gap throughout America.

The book collects the interdisciplinary, multi-racial, and multi-ethnic perspectives of education experts to address the questions of millions of anxious African American families: "Would sending our children to a private school or a charter school significantly better their chances of closing the achievement gap and becoming successful individuals? And if so, what kinds of challenges would they likely experience in these alternative educational settings?"
