Enrollment
by Grade and Ethnicity
By grade level, the proportion of enrollment accounted for by White students in 2009-10 general-
ly increased from kindergarten to Grade 12, whereas the proportion accounted for by Hispanic
students generally decreased (Figure 6 on this page and Table 10 on page 16). This pattern held
true in both the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years. The proportions of grade-level enrollment ac-
counted for by African American and Asian/Pacific Islander students remained relatively stable
from kindergarten to Grade 12.
As outlined on page 12, prekindergarten classes are designed to serve children three years of age
and older who have specified educational disadvantages, including limited English proficiency.
Hispanics, who made up 48.6 percent of total enrollment in the 2009-10 school year, made up
64.3 percent of prekindergarten students. In contrast, Whites, who made up 33.3 percent of total
enrollment, made up 16.2 percent of prekindergarten students.
