Lincoln High School strives to close Latino achievement gap - San Jose, California

For the past 17 years, Lincoln High School in San Jose has worked on ways to close that gap. Sixty percent of students there are Hispanic, and 47 percent of them are enrolled in AP (advanced placement) courses. The state average among Latinos is 30 percent.

Anything from government economics to pre-calculus, to advanced art.

“I think with that kind of open environment, it really gives the students a place and willingness to succeed and achieve,” says student Max Mendez.”*
