A way of assimilating newcomers to the American Society.

Explanation:
Education was still seen as a way to "Americanize" a large number of immigrant children in communities. Compulsory enrolment laws were enacted to ensure that children from all backgrounds provided simple, "normal" elementary school education.
Many minority groups have experienced more economic disadvantage than even the immigrant groups do. Afro-Americans in the Southern States had to attend segregated schools with inadequate services, since these schools were usually given only marginal funding.
Afro-Americans in northern cities had more public schools to participate than in southern and northern Black people at the turn of the millennium, with school attendance levels equal to or higher than American students, including high school.
