Percent in classrooms where mean poverty rate is 11–12% (no more than 25% minority) | Percent in classrooms where mean poverty rate is 49% (more than 75% minority) | |

Notes: The dark bar shows the share of students, by race, in schools that are no more than 25% minority. As Table 1 in this report shows, those schools have an average poverty rate of 11.2 (for schools in which minorities make up more than 10% and up to 25% of the population) and a poverty rate of 12.3 percent (for schools where less than 10% of the student body is minority). The light bar shows the share of students, by race, in schools that are more than 75% minority; in those schools, the average poverty rate is 48.9 percent. The “Total” column includes white, black, Hispanic, and Asian children as well as children whose race/ethnicity is “other.”
