“This report examines the intersection of two trends that have transformed the landscape of American public education in recent years: a rapid increase in enrollment and a surge in the opening of new schools. Using the most detailed data available, it describes the racial and ethnic components of enrollment growth at various levels of the K-12 system. The report then examines the composition of enrollment in newly opened schools as well as older schools still in operation. Finally, the report examines the impact of rapid growth in Hispanic enrollment. The report provides detailed statistics at the state level in appendix tables.” – Publisher’s description
