An Overly Concerned High School Student: Hmong Achievement Gap in SPPS

Before I start off, I'd like to point out that I am a current student in the St. Paul Public School System. As a senior, I have seen that the Hmong students are often neglected. My first point that I will be about the Hmong student population, particularly the achievement gap. (My second point will be posted later) While my main focus is on the Hmong, some of my data is based solely on Asian American students in SPPS. However, of the 31% of Asian American students in SPPS, 20% of them are Hmong. Therefore, data based on Asian American students will closely reflect on the Hmong students.
