Focusing on the challenges faced by African American males in suburban high schools, this study investigates the high retention rates in ninth grade, a critical year for academic success. It highlights the increased likelihood of dropout among retained students and addresses the gap in research concerning suburban, integrated settings, where African Americans are a smaller demographic. By examining the experiences of these students in a New York City suburb, the study aims to uncover the barriers to their academic achievement and provide insights for improving educational outcomes.
