More Hispanic Students in Wisconsin

“The students at Lincoln Elementary represent just a handful of the growing number of Hispanics in U.S. public schools. According to the Pew Research Center Latinos accounted for 64% of all new students in U.S. schools during the last 10 years.

“We are seeing that trend here, absolutely,” explains Lincoln Elementary principal Todd Antony.

In fact according to the state, Hispanics now make up five percent of the Alma Center-Merrillian-Humbird school district, a five fold increase in just 10 years.”
