The report noted that Latinos were the fastest-growing segment of California’s population. It said one of every three people in California is Latino; and by 2042, the proportion is likely to increase to one of every two. More than three million Latinos attend California’s public schools, representing 48 percent of all K-12 students and 42 percent of those in high school. The study said expected increases “make clear that, both today and in the future, Latinos’ educational opportunities and attainment are vital to the state’s economy and to the quality of public life for all Californians.”
