Schools that continue to miss the federal mark could be taken over by
the state government in the next few years. School leaders have vowed
to keep that from happening by raising scores, especially among BLACK,
Latino and immigrant students, whose collective scores continue to lag
behind those of affluent and white students. Nearly six out of 10 North
County *BLACK* students from the class of 2005 were still failing the
exit exam as of last summer. Based on math scores from the exam, just
two out of 10 white and Asian students were failing....

'those African-American kids, they just can't learn like
everyone else,'" Castruita said.
