High schools<\/a> that let students leave class to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have failing academic records, according to recent data.<\/p>\n

Students across the country protested the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions following the deaths of Renee Good and\u00a0Alex\u202fPetti in Minneapolis by staging walkouts, leading some districts<\/a> to close for the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Student coalitions held a “National Shutdown” on Jan. 30 and continued to protest through Feb. 3. The organized event, modeled after the student-led protest in Minneapolis, asked Americans to skip school and work and boycott shopping in protest of ICE’s operations nationwide.<\/p>\n

Yet while students across the country hit the streets<\/a> to march, some of the high schools they attend show math and English proficiency levels below state averages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

GREG ABBOTT THREATENS ARRESTS FOR VIOLENT STUDENT PROTESTERS, FUNDING CUTS FOR SCHOOLS ALLOWING WALKOUTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

North Central High School, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, staged a walkout protest on Tuesday during school hours. A local outlet reported that students were seen protesting\u00a0alongside a city council member.<\/p>\n

“They can\u2019t really stop us from using our voices, and today, we did \u2014 everyone did,” a North Central student told\u00a0FOX 59<\/u><\/a>. “That\u2019s so magical.”<\/p>\n

A video of students showed them\u00a0dancing on top of a vehicle<\/u><\/a> and another shouting “F\u2013 ICE” through a megaphone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response to the demonstrations that occurred at several of its schools, the Washington Township Metropolitan School District, which oversees North Central High School, supported the students’ effort to engage in current events.<\/p>\n

“Leaving campus during school hours without proper authorization is not permitted under school policy. If parents want their students to leave school, please follow the standard sign out process through our attendance office. Students who leave class or campus without permission will be subject to the consequences outlined in our code of conduct,” a Washington MSD spokesperson said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, while North Central High School students left class to exercise their free speech rights, report card results show 14% are proficient in math and 24% proficient in English,\u00a0according to state data<\/u><\/a>. The school also has an attendance rate under 70%.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roosevelt High School in Chicago staged a walkout on Monday during school hours, according to the Chicago Sun Times<\/a>. Roosevelt students joined those from several other high schools in Lincoln Square, calling for ICE to leave Chicago and other cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At Roosevelt High School,<\/a> 22.7% of students are proficient in English. Only 7% are proficient in math \u2014 four times less than the state average at 38.4%.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) issued a statement\u00a0accusing the Trump administration<\/u><\/a> of “normalizing terror” and\u00a0condemning the “teargassing of students and arrest of an educator at Roosevelt High School.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the wake of increased immigration<\/a> enforcement, the union called for an “immediate moratorium” on ICE operations in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, CTU\u00a0faced backlash<\/a> from The Washington Post\u00a0for pursuing social justice initiatives in its school district even as student reading and math proficiency continues to decline.<\/p>\n

Tolleson Union High School<\/a> in Maricopa County, Arizona joined the national movement last Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

State data shows<\/u><\/a> that the school\u2019s proficiency in math is 14% and proficiency in English is 20%. The high school sits in Maricopa County, which in general shows poor academic results not too far from the high school\u2019s levels, with 22% of students in grades 3\u201311 being proficient in English and 15% being proficient in math.<\/p>\n

Several hundred Fresno High students in California took to the streets to slam ICE last Friday as well. The students joined the national protest after their lunch break, marching several miles to the school district\u2019s headquarters in downtown Fresno.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Fresno Bee posted\u00a0a video showing dozens<\/a> of students marching while being escorted by police.<\/p>\n

Academic results are poor<\/a> for Fresno High students, with only 9.46% of all students proficient in math and 37.94% of students proficient in English.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Administrators from Roosevelt High School, Tolleson Union High School, North Central High School and Fresno High School did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital<\/a>‘s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
