Key findings and conclusions from the 2006 State of Students of Color report included:

• Student of color enrollment continues to climb, while white non-Hispanic enrollments decline.
• Achievement gaps persist, despite slight improvements for all students.
• Students of color are less likely to be prepared for higher education.
• Enrollment of students of color in higher education continues to rise, but participation of many students of color right after high school still lags behind white non-Hispanic and Asian students.
