- baldfat 9y agoWell, sure number show more Hispanic and African descent (From 13% to 15%, but the student population has changed much more than the teacher population. 51% of students are Caucasian now but only 15% of teachers are minorities so the ratios are actually higher. Caucasian teachers educate more minority students now than ever. That is why I said the diversity of teachers is getting worse.
