Abstract

This qualitative study examines how COVID-19 has shaped postsecondary enrollment for Black high school students at a predominantly white high school. Drawing from 21 interviews with students and staff, we present findings on students’ interpretations of the racialized impact of COVID-19 and the implications for their college choice.
