Black children are far more likely to live in poverty than the other three groups presented in the parent comment. I'm really curious what the numbers would be were that not the case. I also wonder how much the rise in black IQ over the decades can be attributed to school lunch programs.
- rahimnathwani 2y agoFor 2023-2024, among SFUSD students who are 'Economically Disadvantaged': 70% of Asian 3rd graders met or exceeded state standards for math. 18% of Black or African American 3rd graders met or exceeded state standards for math. The difference is similar for all grade levels (3 to 11) and for all years for which I've seen the data. California provides lunch for all children who attend public schools. SFUSD gives first choice of school to those who live in the very poorest areas of the city. https://caaspp-elpac.ets.org/caaspp/ViewReportSB?ps=true&lstTestYear=2024&lstTestType=B&lstGroup=11&lstGrade=13&lstSchoolType=A&lstCounty=38&lstDistrict=68478-000&lstSchool=0000000&lstSubject=m&lstFocus=a https://caaspp-elpac.ets.org/caaspp/ViewReportSB?ps=true&lst...

It's a huge difference.
