美国学校几乎天天发告示。这是我今天收到的告示。在我们学区,亚洲孩子的比例曾经是9.9%,现在这个比例增加到16%。也就是说,原来大约10个学生中有一个亚洲孩子,现在大约6个学生中有一个亚洲孩子。亚洲学生以中韩日印度孩子居多。难怪奥巴马提醒美国民众,美国学生的对手是中韩印度孩子。我们这里离白宫不远,估计我们这里的统计数据已经被美国总统引用了。
Minority Student Enrollment Reaches 51 Percent
The HCPSS hit a milestone this fall when for the first time the
percentage of white students fell below 50 percent, meaning that
the combined minority population is now in the majority. At 48.6
percent, white students still outnumber other racial/ethnic groups,
but enrollment in other groups, such as Asian and Hispanic, have
increased dramatically in the past decade. The percentage of Asian students has increased from 9.9
percent to 16.0 percent and Hispanic enrollment has
increased from 2.0 percent to 8.3 percent since 2000.
This year, due to new federal regulations for collecting racial and ethnic data of students, the school system has information on the number of multiracial students. Students of two or more races make up 6.2 percent of the HCPSS enrollment. African American students make up 20.0 percent of the student population, while other groups, such American Indian/Alaskan and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, are well under one percent.
