Minority Students
(3 Charts)
As the proportion of minority students
increases in a district, so does the proportion of minority teachers.
(Chart 1 of 3)

http://www.cde.ca.gov/demographics/files/paif.htm
- In districts with more than 90% minority enrollment, 50 % of
teachers are minorities.
- In districts with less than 70% minority enrollment, less than 20%
of teachers are minorities.
- Note that there are no districts in the Five County Region where
fewer than 10% of students are minorities.
Minority students are less likely to
have fully credentialed teachers.

Data Source:
http://api.cde.ca.gov/datafiles.html and
http://www.cde.ca.gov/demographics/files/paif.htm
- In districts with more than 90% minority enrollment, just over
70% of teachers have full credentials.
- In districts with less than 40% minority enrollment, more than
90% of teachers have full credentials.
- Proportions of teachers with full credentials are lower in Los
Angeles County, even in districts with relatively low minority
enrollment.
The proportion of minority students
in a school has some correlation with the average years of teaching
experience in that school.

- Although teacher credentialing is related to the proportion of
minority students in a district, teacher experience is not closely
related, a somewhat surprising finding.
- Nevertheless, average teacher experience is about 11 years in
districts with at least 80% minority students, which is lower than
elsewhere in the region.
