Seventy years after Brown v. Board of Education declared that separate education is inherently unequal, Black students in San Diego and Imperial counties continue to experience disparities in access, opportunity and outcomes. The State of Black Education: San Diego & Imperial Counties (SDIC) Report Card examines how these inequities manifest locally across nine school districts, using state and federal data alongside student and community voices. Across 15 key indicators (academic performance, college readiness, school climate, discipline, mental health and more) the data reveal a consistent pattern: Black students face worse outcomes than their white peers in nearly every domain. These disparities are both systemic and interconnected. At the same time, the report identifies opportunities for growth and pathways for community-driven transformation.
