Our Boys are in Crisis
Educational performance in Fulton County, GA, reflects a troubling decline with reading and math scores dropping to the lowest levels in decades. Our young men from marginalized communities are being disproportionately affected. This decline aligns with a decrease in college enrollment among young men over the past twenty years.
Consequently, many young men in Fulton County are struggling to earn high school diplomas, maintain strong friendships, and achieve independence, often living with their parents into their late 20s and 30s.
