<p>But schools with 80% black populations comprise about 1/10th of the total high schools if you include charters and privates…the numbers don’t add up. Even if the top 7% from the high schools mentioned in the previous post were comprised of 100% black students, the numbers wouldn’t rise at University of Michigan. Even if it were a district thing there are 550 districts in Michigan so perhaps with the exception of Detroit, the percentages of black to total high school graduating population declines if you factor the districts as opposed to the individual high schools. </p>
<p>If you look at the very largest individual high schools, like East kentwood in Grand Rapids, Saline or Clarkston over by Detroit/Ann Arbor…these high schools are quite diverse but in sheer numbers it still doesn’t add up. </p>
