On a regional level, disparities in access to high-performing schools are clearer. The seven school systems with
2018 graduation rates under 90% (Chelsea, Boston, Everett, Malden, Waltham, Somerville, and Cambridge) are
also in municipalities with the highest concentrations of persons of color (see Figure 9). The same trends hold true
for municipalities with higher shares of foreign-born populations (see Figure 4). On a regional level, these
protected classes generally have less access to schools where they are more likely to graduate due to their
housing location and regional patterns of segregation.
