Noted: A University of Wisconsin-Madison report released last year found Delavan-Darien had the highest proportion of Latino students of any school district in Wisconsin. Recent statistics from the state Department of Public Instruction show it’s now essentially tied with Arcadia School District for that spot.
“A lot of the higher-percentage districts were not in places that you would think of on the map as being Latino centers,” said David Long, a UW-Madison researcher in the Applied Population Laboratory who co-authored the 2014 report on Wisconsin’s Latino population. “It’s pretty striking, and Delavan is a great example of that.”
