NICHOLS  \nAsthe Latino population in this nation has increased over the pastfew decades,1 there has been a dramatic surge in the numbers ofLatino students pursuing postsecondary credentials and degreeson college and university campuses across the country.2 Duringthis same period, the gap between Latino and White studentsenrolling in college after highschool has steadily declined and isnow only a few percentage points.3 This is especially the case atcommunity colleges.4  \nWhile these gainsin access to postsecondary education arenoteworthy, simply attending college does not provide thepersonal or broader social benefits that come with completinga degree — particularly a bachelor’s degree. Compared to highschool graduates with no college degree, bachelor’s degreecompleters (with no graduate-level training) earn nearly $25,000more annually.5 In addition, individuals who completed abachelor’s degree (at minimum) are two times less likely tobeunemployed or out of the labor force. Given that the share of25- to 34-year-old Latino adults with a bachelor’s degree is over  \n25 percentage points below that of Whites in the same age group(43.7 percent vs. 17.8 percent), thereis significant room forimprovement.6  \nGraduation rates for Latino students at four-year institutionshave been steadily increasing since 2002. Today, 53.6 percentof new Latino students who enroll full-time at a four-yearinstitution complete a bachelor’s degree within six years,compared to only 45.7 percent in 2002. This gain of nearly 8percentage points from 2002 to 2015, which was higher thanthe graduation rate increase for White students during the sametimeframe, has narrowed the Latino-White graduation rate gapby 2.7 percentage points (Figure 1) .7  \nWhile these gains are important to acknowledge and celebrate, itis also fair to point out that progress has been far too slow, and a  \n10 percentage point gap still remains between the graduation rateof Latino students and their White peers (Figure 2) . This gap in  \nFigure 1: College Graduation Rates Up for Latinos, Gap Closing(Six-Year Graduation Rates at Four-Year Institutions 2002-2015)  \n Wh ite Latino  \n12.4  \n  \n58.1   \n45.7  \n63.3  \n9.7  \n53.6  \n2002 2015  \nSource: National Center for Education Statistics. 2016 Digest for Education Statistics. Table 326.10  \ndegree completion is partly the result of systemic disadvantagesthat many Latinos face in various aspects of their lives, especiallyin schooling experiences, which make the quest for a collegedegree more difficult. The challenges start early, as Latinostudents have the least access — of all racial or ethnic groups— to high-quality preschool, which is associated with positiveeducation benefits.8 In addition, Latino students are more likelytobe English learners,9 low-income,10 and attend schools thatoften have fewer resources,11 less experienced teachers,12 and ahigher percentage of low-income students.13  \nIn the face of these challenges, many Latino students are beatingthe oddsand making their way to college, but the national figuressuggest that — despite progress over the years — too many are notcompleting bachelor’s degrees in a tim","cbCaihF7yHKYDUgO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihF7yHKYDUgO","pdf",4675504,16,"English","# A Look at Latino Student Success: Identifying Top- and Bottom-Performing Institutions\n## A Note on Terminology and Data Limitations","[{\"question\":\"What is the report trying to accomplish beyond national averages?\",\"answer\":\"The report examines patterns in student success at specific four-year institutions by comparing how well different colleges serve Latino students relative to national trends.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report describe the Latino–White graduation rate gap?\",\"answer\":\"It notes that Latino graduation rates have increased since 2002 and the gap has narrowed, but a meaningful 10 percentage point gap still remains between Latino and White students.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is included as a “Latino” student in this report?\",\"answer\":\"Students are included if they ethnically self-identify as Hispanic or Latino, using a broad definition covering multiple origins and Spanish culture regardless of race.\"}]","Latino Student Success - Identifying Top- and Bottom-Performing Institutions | PDF"]
