Source: School District Database (tabulations of the 1990 census at school district level).
Notes: Based on school districts including a high school: 10,935 school districts for children and 12,503 for parents of children (the reason for the difference is unknown). In Panel B, the shares by race/ethnicity are calculated at the state level, then averaged across states weighting with total enrollment in the state. An immigrant is a child of school age born abroad; an immigrant parent is someone born abroad who is the parent of a school-aged child (born anywhere). White denotes non-Hispanic white.
