Survey Challenges Notions About African American, Hispanic Achievement
EVANSTON, Ill.
Academic aspirations and student attitudes about school differ only slightly among African American, Hispanic, Asian and White students, according to a survey conducted by the Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN).
Based on 40,000 responses from high-school students in 15 relatively affluent school districts across the country, the study challenges many preconceptions about racial and ethnic differences among student groups.
