Blacks and Latinos need more attention.

Black and Latino males in city schools are more likely to land in special education classes where drop-out rates are high and their chance of leaving with a diploma is slim, a report released Thursday showed.
Kids with disabilities in "self-contained" classrooms where all kids are special education students have a less than 5% chance of graduating, the report said.
And, the odds that they'll drop out are more than twice as high as for kids in other kinds of special education settings, according to special education advocacy group ARISE Coalition.
Black and Latino middle school boys make up about 60% of the kids in that type of setting, but comprise only about half of the students with disabilities in mixed classrooms of special ed and other students.
"Once a young person lands in those (self-contained) classes, the likelihood of their graduation is tremendously low," said Maggie Moroff, coordinator of ARISE. "It's a road to nowhere for many of those kids."
