Please someoneee helppp ill give brainliest just pleaseee Which of the following statistics would best support the claim that U. S. schools are becoming more segregated? 9% of African-American students have enrolled in an AP class.
88% of America's wealth is held by white Americans.
74% of African-American students attend segregated schools.
14% of the U. S. population is African-American.

C) 74% of African-American students attend segregated school.

Well over six decades after the Supreme Court declared “separate but equal” schools to be unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education, schools remain heavily segregated by race and ethnicity.

What are the consequences of this lack of progress in integrating schools for black children?

It depresses education outcomes for black students; as shown in this report, it lowers their standardized test scores.

It widens performance gaps between white and black students.

It reflects and bolsters segregation by economic status, with black students being more likely than white students to attend high-poverty schools.

It means that the promise of integration and equal opportunities for all black students remains an ideal rather than a reality.

In contrast, when black students have the opportunity  to attend schools with lower concentrations of poverty and larger shares of white students they perform better, on average, on standardized tests.

Black children are still relegated to separate and unequal schools

Findings on school segregation and student performance come from the National Center for Education Statistics’ National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the most comprehensive study of education performance in the country. We use the most recently released data to describe school segregation and its consequences for math performance of eighth-graders. These data show that only about one in eight white students (12.9%) attends a school where a majority of students are black, Hispanic, Asian, or American Indian. (We refer to this group collectively as students of color hereafter.) In contrast, nearly seven in 10 black children (69.2%) attend such schools (see Figure A).

As shown in Figure B, black students are also in economically segregated schools. Less than one in three white students (31.3%) attend a high-poverty school, compared with more than seven in 10 black students (72.4%).
