Educational Achievement of U.S. Puerto Ricans New England Journal of Public Policy 11,2 (Spring-Summer 1996): 99-111 Cohort(s): Mature Women, NLSY79 Publisher: John W. McCormack Institute of Public Affairs Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Ethnic Differences; Ethnic Groups; Hispanics; Minority Groups; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Extends research on minority educational achievement to the 1990s, emphasizing the experiences of Puerto Ricans, using data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Results suggest that compared with whites, blacks, & Mexicans, Puerto Ricans exhibit the lowest high school graduation rates. Their educational disadvantage is unique: even if they assumed the attributes of whites, they would graduate at lower rates. This finding deserves priority in the agendas of both scholars & policy specialists. 5 Tables. Adapted from the source document. (Copyright 1996, Sociological Abstracts, Inc., all rights reserved.) |
