Hispanic Youth Dropping Out of U.S. Schools: Measuring the Challenge
Report

Richard Fry's report Hispanic Youth Dropping Out of U.S. Schools:
Measuring the Challenge published by the Pew Hispanic Center sheds new
light on the nature and the size of the Hispanic dropout problem in
American schools. Based on a new analysis of Census Bureau data, the
report assesses the impact of immigration on the Latino dropout
population and shows that the dropout rate for Hispanics who attend U.S. schools has been improving in recent years. The report also provides previously unavailable detail on the characteristics of Latino dropouts, including employment, earnings and language abilities.
