Table 10
Demographics of Sites for Clinical Practice in Initial and Advanced Programs

The West Central Texas region where Angelo State University is located is a very diverse area. Table 10 illustrates the diversity of school population in the service area. Almost one-fourth of the schools have Hispanic populations above 60%, while slightly more than one-third of the schools are predominately Anglo at more than 60%. Asian ethnicity in this region is small in number, with only six schools posting 2% or above of Asian students. Correspondingly, about one-third of the schools have greater than 5% of their population identified as Black or African American.

While ethnic and racial differences speak to diversity issues, perhaps socioeconomic levels and needs of families may be as critical or greater a factor in school demographics. Almost half of the schools listed in Table 10 list student numbers of 50% or greater eligible for free lunch programs. Poverty impacts student learning.
