Abstract
This article summarizes current data available on the educational attainment of precollegiate Hispanic students. Dr. Arias reviews those factors that contribute to the heterogeneity of Latinos and the educational implications that derive from the demographic changes of the last 20 years. She emphasizes that the increasing residential segregation of Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans has educational consequences in promoting linguistic isolation that impede academic attainment.Keywords
