- Latino Student and the educational pipeline - Part I: From Middle School to the WorkforceScott Swail, Watson; Cabrera, Alberto A.; Lee, Chul; Williams, Adriane (Educational Policy Institute, 2005-04-01)This report is one of a series of three reports on Latino students in the educational pipeline, all of which are available for free download on the web at www.educationalpolicy.org. The purpose of this series is to provide a sense of the challenges facing Latino youth compared to White youth on the pathways to postsecondary education and the baccalaureate. The series relies on data from the National Educational Longitudinal Study (NELS), sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics in 1988 to follow 8th grade students from middle school through to the workforce. In total, over 26,000 8th-grade students were surveyed in 1988, with follow up surveys in 1990 (10th grade), 1992 (12th grade), 1994 (2 years after scheduled high school graduation), and finally in 2000 (8 years after scheduled high school graduation). NELS gives us the best glimpse of students in and beyond the educational pipeline in America.

- Latino Youth and the Pathway to CollegeScott Swail, Watson; Cabrera, Alberto F.; Lee, Chul (Pew Research Center, 2004-06-23)The act of going to college and earning a degree is more important than ever to today’s youth and our society. Individuals with a bachelor’s degree earn much more than high school graduates, and society as a whole also benefits from an educated citizenry. Unfortunately, access to a postsecondary education is not equal in America. Students historically underrepresented at the postsecondary level–students of color, those from low-income backgrounds, and first-generation students–are still less likely to prepare for, apply for, enroll in, and persist through postsecondary education. This report outlines the pathway to and through postsecondary education for Latinos and other students, and looks at a number of variables which offer insight into how motivated and prepared these students are for postsecondary work. This study was conducted by the Educational Policy Institute through a grant from the Pew Hispanic Center to provide the most up-to-date analysis of Latino achievement through postsecondary education.
