The horrible quality of the education encouraged large numbers of students to dropout which resulted in about every ¼ mexican american student graduating.

The term “Latino” is a very general term that has been applied to a variety of individuals with numerous racial and ethnic histories. In his book Harvest of Empire, Juan Gonzalez discusses these groups, the differences, and similarities between them. In many cases there seems to be just as much difference between these various ethnic groups as there are similarities. This multi-ethnic history that makes up the general diversity of Latinos in the Americas is often overlooked for a variety of reasons, be they ethnocentrism, a lack of understanding, or general discrimination.
