Every Urban Prep senior is college-bound

100 percent of first senior class at all male, all African-American Englewood academy is accepted to universities

Quote
Four years ago, Bryant Alexander watched his mother weep.

She stared down at a muddle of D's and F's on his eighth-grade report card and threatened to kick him out. He had barely passed elementary school, and high school wasn't even on his radar.

"Something just clicked," Alexander, now 18, said. "I knew I had to do something."

On Friday, Alexander proudly swapped his high school's red uniform tie for a striped red and gold one — the ritual at Englewood's Urban Prep Academy for Young Men that signifies a student has been accepted into college.

As the Roseland resident and 12 others tied their knots, Chicago's only public all-male, all-African-American high school fulfilled its mission: 100 percent of its first senior class had been accepted to four-year colleges.

Why is segregation good for some, but not for others?

For years, the government in Washington destroyed communities, encourage de-segregation in the schools.  Then, it reinvented the wheel?

Segregation seems to work.

Why destroy what works, based on the color of ones skin?

Why destroy communities for some, and reinvent them for others?

For some reason, 100% all white schools are demonized.  No one celebrated if they had 100% graduation rates.

Why not expect all students, regardless of race to prepare for college or work after school.

Where are the all white, or other ethnic schools that send 100% of graduating class to college?
