Proportion of the school term attended for a student attending a White-segregated school (A) and a Black-segregated school (B) in the U.S. South by state (n = 17), Biennial Survey of Education, from 1919/1920 to 1953/1954. Notes: Proportion of the school term attended is calculated as the average number of days attended as reported by the state divided by the maximum school term length in the U.S. South in that year. The average number of days attended is reported separately for White-segregated and Black-segregated schools.
