June 8, 2010, Chicago, Illinois, USA: Students at Robeson High live in one of Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods, Englewood. It is also one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city, with a median income of $18,955 and a demographic with a population of 97.8% African Americans. Roberson student face many challenges as they enter school; they have to walk through metal detectors, witness fights and sometimes not have a clear idea of what they're doing on a day-to-day basis. In Chicago Public Schools, approximately half of the freshmen who enter high school will earn their diploma. On August 18, 2010 a 50-state report from the Schott Foundation for Public Education has come to a dispiriting conclusion: public education is failing for black male students. Nationwide, the graduation rate for this demographic of students is a paltry 47 percent. And in some major cities, only 28 percent of black males complete high school on time.///Students at Robeson High. Credit: Carlos Javier Ortiz / Polaris (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
