A report by the Schott Foundation for Public Education, has found that among males, 58 percent of Latino 9th graders nationally graduate from high school four years later, compared to 78 percent of Whites. John H. Jackson, president of the Schott Foundation said, “Too many young Latino boys and men are being pushed out and locked out of the U.S. education system”. Latino males are systematically shut out of equal opportunity in education, from preschool to AP courses and most often confined to under-resourced schools.
