- During the same period,
both majority white schools and majority minority schools experienced a
change in their average racial composition: they became less white and
more Hispanic.
- Few schools became
majority white during this period.
In schools for which we have data in both 1990 and 2000, total
white enrollment dropped sharply in those that remained majority white in
each year, as well as in those that remained or became majority
minority. Black, Hispanic, and
Asian numbers grew about the same in schools that remained majority white
as in those that remained or became majority minority.
