Abstract
Hispanic and Latino students in the United States face significant educational barriers that limit their academic success and long-term financial mobility. These disadvantages are the root cause of socio economics, limited parental education, language barriers, and underfunded public schools. Many Hispanic parents are often unfamiliar with the United States educational system, and struggle to provide academic support for their children. Additionally the lack of school resources and poor communication between educators and their families also contribute to dropout rates, which limit their ability in entering the workforce. They are then faced with lower paying jobs or unskilled positions.
