Ok after reading the article I want you all to play close attention to the stats at the bottom. the white school has a higher ACT score BUT the black school has a better student to teacher ratio and higher math and English proficiency scores.
Concerning ACT scores I strongly believe the location where you take the exam has some play in the score. For example high school kids taking the ACT at Tech versus GSU.

(CNN)It's a settlement five decades in the making: Beginning in August, students in Cleveland, Mississippi, will no longer attend segregated schools.
A US federal court has accepted a settlement with the Cleveland School District, by which the district's high schools and middle schools will be consolidated to accommodate all district children.
Gone will be the Trojans of predominantly black East Side High and the Wildcats of racially mixed Cleveland High. All teens will now be Cleveland Central High Wolves.
