Student demographics
Rhode Island’s student population is growing more diverse every year. Today, four in ten students are students of color (nationwide, the number is five in ten). Enrollment in our public schools is lower now than it was a decade ago, but this enrollment decline has slowed in recent years.

Notes:
1. Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding.
2. Group names are reported here the same way they are reported in the original source. This holds true throughout the State of Public Education data tool.
