Description

Maryland’s public schools are facing an alarming drop in Hispanic enrollment — the first time in years — even as the state’s Hispanic population grows. Graduation rates for Hispanic students and English learners have also plummeted, sparking urgent concern among educators. A key driver? Heightened immigration enforcement, including increased arrests near schools, which has instilled fear in families, disrupting childcare, finances, and school engagement. While some local policies aim to shield students from federal cooperation, their impact remains uncertain amid legal battles and rising community calls for protection.
