The Frederick Douglass High School, a historically black school dating from 1883, was once the school of choice for Baltimore’s middle-class African American families. Today, Douglass serves an inner-city community living in poverty, suffering from low student test scores, a shortage of qualified teachers and a 50% dropout rate. The latest film from Academy Award-winning filmmakers Alan and Susan Raymond, HARD TIMES AT DOUGLASS HIGH A No Child Left Behind Report Card examines the daunting challenges faced by many of America’s urban high schools.

Directed by Susan and Alan Raymond
