Latino students shut out of advanced classes – Santa Cruz, California
Tagged: California, HIV, studentPosted on: February 12th, 2007“The halls of the three Santa Cruz district high schools are filled with kids of every color, but walk into any advanced placement or honors class, and the faces are almost all white.
In a district thats 27 percent Latino, few Latino students are enrolled in the courses, designed to give kids a head start on college. At Santa Cruz, Soquel and Harbor high schools, which have 991 Latino students among them, there are:
Thirty eight Latino students in AP classes [Harbor has two];
Eight Latinos in Soquel Highs Humanities Academy;
Three Latino students in Santa Cruz Highs Math Academy.”
