Austin needs to do more for low-income students, new study says
“Only 10 percent of black and Latino students in Austin are attending the school district’s highest rated schools, compared with one-third of white students and 50 percent of Asian students, a study being released Monday says. Likewise, Austin is doing a lackluster job in educating its low-income students, according to the most recent findings from the Houston nonprofit Children at Risk, which puts out annual rankings of Texas schools. There are only a handful of Austin schools with mostly low-income student populations that still earned an A or B grade from the group.”
