The Context of Education for Hispanic Students: An Overview.

Arias, M. Beatriz

American Journal of Education, v95 n1 p26-57 Nov 1986

Summarizes current data available on the educational attainment of precollegiate Hispanic students. Reviews factors contributing to the heterogeneity of Latino and the educational implications of the demographic changes of the last 20 years. The increasing residential segregation of Mexican-Americans and Puerto Ricans promotes linguistic isolation that impedes academic attainment. (Author/LHW)
