Lastly, 1992 Current Population Survey and the 1993 National Household Education Survey found lower rates of disability in Latino children, compared to White children; even without removing the socioeconomic factors that I discussed earlier (Carlson et al., 1996).

My hypothesis is that SES determines the amount of funding a school receives and areas with low SES may not have the funds need to support a special education program to assist students with learning disabilities. Therefore, this may hinder some the second generation of students from finishing high school and making them dropouts. Lastly, this special education programs because of funding may manifest more in the Mexican American population due to their lower SES than in Cuban Americans.

Several studies have found Latino and Black students are more likely than other ethnicities to be unclear about what and where they will attend high school (Schiller 1995). Based on these findings, Schiller (1995) found that Latinos, and blacks, need extra help to make the transition from junior high to secondary school (high school), and in need of guidance about the courses that will allow them to attend post-secondary
