Race, gender and public high school graduation rates

Steve Sailer:

Jay P. Greene of the Manhattan Institute has a new report out, "Leaving Boys Behind: Public High School Graduation Rates", showing that only 70% of 9th graders graduate from high school within the expected four years, 65% of males, 72% of females. For whites, the graduation rates are 74% for boys and 79% for girls. For blacks, it's 48% for boys and 59% for girls. For Hispanics, its 49% and 58%.

Boy, that overall Hispanic graduation rate of 53% sure makes you feel good about our current immigration system and the plans that the American ruling class has to speed up even more our intake of Latin American peasants.
