Educational Policy and Accountability Studies

    > Latino Students

 Hispanic student dropout rate a national crisis
Latino students' educational attainment rates have improved somewhat during the past decade, yet Latinos still continue to enter school later, leave school earlier, and receive proportionally fewer diplomas and college degrees.

pathways for latino youth
Latino students are disadvantaged in their preparation for, access to, and completion of postsecondary education. A comprehensive and radical reform of the education of youth from low-income populations along the entire k-16 system is required.

Seeing through the "Meritocracy"
Until the myth of meritocracy is exposed and dealt with, the education system will continue to reduce the numbers of minority students who make it through high school.

Transforming Education for Hispanic Youth
Most schools serving Latino youth need dramatic restructuring, innovation, and change to serve those youth at risk of dropping out.
