Quick Facts

  • Hispanic Students
    Currently, there are 52,000+ Hispanic students in the Greater Kansas City metro area.
  • Graduation Rates
    While improvements to high school completion among Latinos are evident, graduation rates for Latinos still trail the national average.
  • Student-Teacher Gap
    In the United States, there are three times as many Latino students as there are teachers. In Kansas City, just 1% of teachers identify as Latino.
  • Political Representation
    For Hispanics, despite being the fastest growing subgroup in nearly every school in Kansas City Public School System (KCPSS), there is still a disproportionate underrepresentation at the governance level.

Testimonials

“…I love going to the Familias Empoderadas Conference. The topics are so interesting. Thank you for all the hard work you do to organize this wonderful event and thank you for taking care of our children while you inform us.”

Adriana Puentes

“I’ve been living in Kansas for a year and a half. When I first arrived, I felt out of place in relation to what I was used to doing in my country. At my daughter’s middle school, they offered basic computer courses. The invitation resonated with me, so I signed up. From that first experience, every time EducaTec [RevED and LEC] offers a course, discussion, or program, I get excited and participate. Thank you for guiding us on topics that are important for our development as parents of [current] students, and especially for our own diverse personal growth.”

Rudy Barrios

“I have learned a lot about my responsibility as a mother on how to raise healthy and happy future adults.”
