Report: Virginia Hispanic Students Increasingly Attending Segregated Schools

The Washington Post (3/13, Chandler) reports that according to a new report from the UCLA-based Civil Rights Project, "Latinos, the largest minority group in Northern Virginia, are attending increasingly segregated schools." The Post adds that the report "examines enrollment patterns across the state during the past two decades." Noting that nearly 80% of the state's Hispanic students went to "predominantly minority" schools last year, the Post adds that the report shows that "about 7 percent of those students went to 'intensely segregated minority schools' - ones where less than 10 percent of students were white and a large majority of students lived in poverty."
