College Education Survey

Race Key:
W: White AA: African American A: Asian H: Hispanic NA: Native American PI: Pacific Islander O: Other

Race - Total Number of People - High School Graduates - College Graduates
 W-10-10-10
H-8-6-3
A-5-5-4
AA-5-5-3

Based on this data, you can infer that other races aside from the white population had less of an opportunity to go to college, where as they had an almost equal opportunity to graduate from high school. Reasons for these results could include: the amount of money it requires to be able to receive a college education, the issue of very few or no college scholarship/loan opportunities available, students dropped out due to various reasons, or due to their culture/beliefs, etc. The fact that I asked teenagers about their parents could make a difference, as well.
