Studies on college preparation and choice often revolve around the experiences of White students. However, due to racism, economic hardship, and a general lack of opportunity, college preparation and choice for African American students is markedly different. This is particularly important as African Americans increasingly attend predominantly African American urban high schools.

520 $a Studies on college preparation and choice often revolve around the experiences of White students. However, due to racism, economic hardship, and a general lack of opportunity, college preparation and choice for African American students is markedly different. This is particularly important as African Americans increasingly attend predominantly African American urban high schools.
520 $a Coupled with the lack of research on college preparation and decision making by African American students is the downturn in their participation rates at postsecondary institutions. Whatever the causes of this "new inequality," it is reasonable to seek out explanations and a deeper understanding of the role high schools, families, and neighborhoods play in preparing, or not preparing, African American students to attend college.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to describe and understand the experiences of African American high school students attending a predominantly African American high school in Southwest Georgia. The study explored how African American students experienced their high school and their course selection, academic and financial preparation for college, and subsequent decisions about attending college. Emphasis was placed on the role of various constituents in this process (i.e., family, teachers, counselors, and community), academic preparation, timing of decisions, and the role of finances.
520 $a Answers to questions posed in this study were sought using qualitative methodology. A bounded case study with ethnographic analysis was used. Generally, the findings were as follows: (1) The African American tradition of caring, cross-generation uplift, and faith communities still exists in Urban City High School, though it is diminishing; (2) Strong differences exist between college preparatory and vocational/career technical students relative to knowledge of educational tracking procedures; (3) Students do not feel that counselors provide adequate assistance in the college decision-making process; and (4) Overwhelmingly, students and their families have no plans or preparation for financing college. These findings have several implications for practice and research which include, but are not limited to, institutions of higher education partnering with urban high schools to provide greater access to information on college and increased counselor support of college aspirations.
