Hispanics who live in homes where English is the first language spoken do just as well as other student groups on their state tests. It is mostly Hispanics where English is NOT their primary language and/or who live in homes where a language other than English is spoken who drag the scores down for the entire group.
It has everything to do with language barriers and the ability to comprehend and compose the written word.
