A look at Asian/Pacific Islander population. 50-50 schools with the highest percentage of Asian/Pacific Islanders and those with the highest six year graduation rate. When I was looking through the data, I found that among 50-50 schools, the Asian/Pacific Islander graduation rate was more likely to be lower than the general rate than above it.

6 Year Graduation Rate of 80% Plus
