Tagged: blog, population, studentPosted on: March 14th, 2007“On average, Latinos in New York have been consistently segregated; today, they attend schools that are 80% non-white. In California, the average Latino student, meanwhile, attended schools that were 54% white in 1970; by 1991, they attended schools that were 73% non-white. In Nevada, which saw its Las Vegas-area integration plan dismantled in the 1990s, the average Latino student in 2003 attended schools that were 63% non-white; 20 years earlier, these schools were nearly 66% white. Overall, in the West, which has seen the Latino population swell, 81% of Latinos are in majority non-white schools; in the Northeast, 78% are in majority non-white schools, while 44% are in intensely segregated schools.”
