Pueblo City Schools officials were happy to see a strong improvement in the district’s graduation rate last year, but a closer look at the figures show that Hispanic students are receiving diplomas at a rate less than the overall school population.
The Hispanic graduation rate did improve, though, rising to 60 percent from 50 percent, but it’s still more than 10 percentage points behind the overall district and the rate among white students set at 77.4 percent. Hispanic students make up 56 percent of the number of students expected to be in the class of 2007, but 48 percent of the number who actually received diplomas”*
