Racial Gaps in Education
High-school dropout rates are least among whites and highest among Hispanics, while college enrollment rates are least among blacks and highest among whites. The high-school dropout rate has grown more similar among these three groups, while the college enrollment rate has grown more sharply different.

Currently, the hispanic population is known as a minority group, however, it has been predicted that in the coming years the hispanic population will be the dominating race. If the statics above show that hispanic's are dropping out of high school at what looks like triple the amount of whites, what is that suggesting about the future of America?
