been observed in m.any urban school districts, the percentage of
minority enrollment (19%) is higher than the minority percentage
of the general population (11%). This perhaps reflects
larger minority families, or relatively less tendency of minority
families to enroll children in private schools, or som.e combination
of these and other fa·ctors. Moreover, the overall percentage
of minority students is highest at the elementary level and
lowest at the senior high level This latter fact reflects a somewhat
higher rate for minority children than for
majority children.
Further, the three levels were compared in terms of rni-nority
percentages in the individual schools. Each school at the
junior or senior high level has a minority percentage within 8
to 12 points of the overall minority percentages for its school
In contI'ast~ the elementary schools vary widely-from
than 10 per cent to more than 50 per cent. These points are
