A Case Study Phenomenon Approach: Are Alternative Schools Education Programs for K-12 a Holding Cell for Black Students in an Eastern North Carolina School System?

This research study article investigated the many types of behaviors observed at an early stage among black students. With a racial achievement gap in the black culture, there's has been a great segregation when it comes to black students being educated. Black and Latino students are classified as low-income and socially ostracized from other peers when it comes to educational values. With the ever-increasing behaviors observed and alternative schools are in demand, these programs are at risk socially due to the lack of federal funding. More relevant research, as well as future research, is needed in finding effective solutions while developing effective evidence-based preventive and intervention approaches to better serve black students that may have a disadvantage when it comes being educated due to their race.
