Pew reports that two groups, Hispanics and Asians, have experienced overall population growth. This is due to an increase in the number of U.S.-born children in these racial groups, rather than immigration. The proportion of black students attending public school this fall is expected to remain the same. Overall, white students still outnumber any other individual race in enrollment rates.
Conversely, the racial breakdown of private school students is predominantly white. In private schools serving grades kindergarten through 12, approximately seven out of 10 students were white, according to 2009 data from the National Center for Education Statistics.
