What has often been overlooked in the community’s ongoing dialogue on the Rochester School District’s graduation rates is the simple fact that Latino students have the lowest rates in the district. According to district reports, the Latino graduation rate is about 12 percent lower than that of African Americans.
Why should this concern anyone? After all, Latinos are relatively new to Rochester. Other ethnic groups that also find themselves struggling were here first. Earlier immigrants made it through the urban school system, and yet became part of America’s middle class. Why should Latinos be given any breaks?”*
