Educational opportunities and outcomes for California's Latino students have improved over the last half century. Even so, Latino students continue to face barriers in opportunity that make it harder for them to achieve college, career, and future success. The goal of this report is to describe what Latino students currently experience in California schools and what needs to change. This report highlights examples of community, school, and policy efforts that demonstrate what is possible, and it concludes with recommendations for state and local education leaders. It is the hope that this report serves as a rallying cry for today's student leaders, educators, parents, policymakers, and community members.
