The majority of K-12 public school students are now students of color, and the U.S. Census Bureau estimates the majority of all Americans will be people of color by 2043. But the proportion of college students of color was just 43.7 percent in 2018. As our nation’s demographics continue to shift, we must increase attention and energy on ensuring this new majority is set up to succeed in education and training after high school. This report provides insights to guide the work of stakeholders throughout the system: those in classrooms, district offices, partner organizations, and statehouses. Whatever the starting point, there is something for everyone interested in moving the needle for the new majority.
