The Challenge Of Integration In Oakland's Public Schools
Play
Public schools in Oakland are largely segregated by race and class. Only a handful really reflect the city's diversity. Back in 1964, the Supreme Court declared racially segregated schools inherently unequal.
In Oakland, the segregation is particularly harmful to Latinos and African-American students who are mostly concentrated in the worst performing schools. Critics say the district's enrollment policy is part of the problem.
