In 43 states and the District of Columbia, black students are
arrested at school at disproportionately high levels, an analysis of
federal data by the Education Week Research Center finds.
And one reason may be that black students are more likely than
students in any other racial or ethnic group to attend schools with
police, according to the analysis of 2013-14 civil rights data, the most
recent collected by the U.S. Department of Education.
In most of the jurisdictions with disproportionate arrests of black
students, the disparities are significant. In 28 states, the share of
arrested students who are black is at least 10 percentage points higher
than their share of enrollment in schools with at least one arrest. In
10 of those states, that gap is at least 20 percentage points.
No other student racial or ethnic groups face such disparities in as many states...
