Research Question: How does the diversity of the different ethnicity of the junior class of IB students at Smoky Hill High School differ from the diversity of the different ethnicity of the finishing senior class of IB students at smoky hill high school? Over the years, has IB been more accepting of the different cultures and ethnicity all over the world, or is it becoming less diverse and are the different cultural people more accepting in engaging in becoming IB student then they were before?

Hypothesis: If there are more ethnicity in the junior class of IB student, then IB and the different diverse student are more accepting of being in the program, but if there is less diversity, then they are becoming less accepting in becoming part of the program.

Background Information: The Smoky Hill High School International baccalaureate (IB) program is one of the best academic programs in the country. It has had different objectives than any other academic programs in the school force aiming to better student’s academic careers. It provides a framework of academic challenge that encourages students to think outside the box and to understand the connections between traditional subjects and connecting it to the real world. This program also gives its own diploma and prepares kids for the college level schoolwork. The IB program has also been known for diversity of different cultures and the progress it had given them and the success they have been gaining. Therefore, my goal is to examine whether the program is more accepting of different ethnicity over the years or has it decreased because the kids from foreign countries find it a hard course and they give up or are American kids less able to challenge themselves and give up.

    There is no significant difference between the district percentage of Hispanic and Native American compared to the state percentage. They represent respectively, about 50% and 0.5% of the student body. However, African American represents two thirds of the student body in Alief ISD while they represent only about one seventh of the public school students statewide. While we see a higher percentage of African American in Alief ISD, we can also observe that there is a big variance of White students between the percentage in Alief ISD and the statewide percentage. In fact, two out of three students is White statewide while only about one out of thirty-three students are from the same ethnicity in Alief ISD. Identically, we can observe that the percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander is higher in the district, 12.7% for only about 3.7% statewide. As we can see in Figure 2 below the percentage of Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American, and White in Alief ISD did not significantly change since 2007. On the other hand, there is a more accentuate…

    The demographic makeup of todays classroom is rapidly changing Not so long ago in the U.S. it was possible and even probable the overwhelming majority of your classmates were of the same ethnic background. Although it is still possible, in all likely-hood in today’s high school the ethnic and cultural make-up will more likely reflect the surrounding communities in your area and the state in which you live. Similarly, in U.S. College’s diversity is to be expected. In the U.S. Black and Hispanic students are 14.8 and 13.5 percent of the undergraduate student population respectively. According to projections these groups will make up 42 percent of the student population in 2019. This projected increase is mainly attributed to the expected 30 and 45 percent in expected overall growth in Black and Hispanic populations compared to 7 percent growth for white students. (U.S Department of Education Statistics March 2011). It must be noted that this doesn’t account for the myriad of other immigrants from all over the world who also call America home.…
