This is all conjecture, based on anecdotal evidence at best. I have been in American public education (K-12) for over 25 years and I can tell you that we do not keep demographic data on indigenous Africans. Demographic data is on Asians, whites, African Americans and Hispanics. The achievement gap issue is along those ethnic and racial lines. I can tell you that anecdotally we are seeing a lot of immigrant African students struggling in school as the ranks of the dispossessed from the black-on-black war on the poor in Africa hits America's shores. It is complicated.
