Latino enrollment exploding in rural schools – Minnesota

Tagged: ,

“The report, titled Latino Students in our Public Schools: A Closer Look, examines the Latino student population in 35 Minnesota public school districts where Latinos comprise at least 10 percent of the student population.

The study documents the rapid rise in enrollment of Latino students in Minnesota’s public schools, increasing in numbers from 30,605 in the 2001-2002 school year to 42,393 in the 2005-2006 school year, an increase of more than 38 percent during a time period when overall enrollments in Minnesota declined by approximately 3 percent. Consequently, Latino students went from comprising 3.7 percent of all enrolled students in 2001 to 5.3 percent in 2005.”
