21 <br /> a._ <br /> The Rogers/Eubanks Neighborhood <br /> Neighborhood Needs <br /> Education: <br /> Minority students in the Rogers/Eubanks traditional neighborhood are not performing <br /> as well as their peers in this area although they are performing better than minorities in <br /> the state as a whole. Given the resources available in this area, that result should not be <br /> surprising. Academic achievement for African-American students is severely lagging <br /> behind school and district averages. Similarly, the Latino/a population and other <br /> minority groups of Rogers-Eubanks are recording low academic scores. <br /> School Black Latino School • Black Latino District Black Latino State <br /> School School total District District total State State total <br /> Chapel ,66.0% -74:0% 79-..,7% <br /> Hill Hi wome:44 tiovrat4 Zi'..440 , <br /> School. 402*Ogg'0001 tlitN014•141 it4 i. <br /> Smith 58.3% 65.9% 87.5% 58.8% 65.2% 85.6% 48.5% 54.4% 67.0% <br /> Middle <br /> School <br /> Morris :2=70.5%_ i;:f85-:6% 48.5% 54.4% 67.0% <br /> Grove : <br /> -1•144 <br /> Although there is access to job training, there is little access to the kinds of training that <br /> would allow an individual to accumulate wealth. Improving the job prospects of an <br /> individual who has a high school degree, or even one who has had some college, is <br /> unlikely to get them out of poverty. Reducing poverty requires increasing wealth, not <br /> just income. The income improvement that would result in wealth accumulation is <br /> CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT DISSEMINATE.
