Virtually all of the 3.4 million increase in suburban public school enrollments over the past decade and a half has been due to the enrollment of new Latino, black and Asian students, according to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis of public school data. The most potent driver of this trend has been the near doubling of the Latino share of suburban school district enrollment \u2014 to 20% in 2006-07, from 11% in 1993-94. Over this same time period, the black share grew to 15% from 12% and the Asian share rose slightly, to 6% from 5%. Overall, white students made up just 59% of the enrollment in suburban public schools in 2006-07, down from 72% in 1993-94. Once a largely white enclave, suburban school districts in 2006-07 educated a student population that was 41.4% non-white, up from 28% in 1993-94 and not much different from the 43.7% non-white share of the nation\u2019s overall public school student population. At the same time, suburban school districts have been gaining \u201cmarket share\u201d; they educated 38% of the nation\u2019s public school students in 2006-07, up from 35% in 1993-94.
