That’s according to new data from the California Department of Education. This includes, black, Latino, and low-income students, as well as English language learners and students with disabilities. Overall, traditional public schools have higher college-going rates, but only after you include data for community and private two-year colleges. This latest set of numbers is more evidence to suggest that the college-going culture at charter public schools is expanding access to UCs and CSUs for California’s most historically underserved students. In major districts throughout our state, for example, [Latino](https://info.ccsa.org/blog/latino-student-proof-charters-work) and [black](https://info.ccsa.org/blog/charter-public-schools-are-part-of-the-solution-to-improving-education-outcomes-for-black-students-in-california) students are completing a-g courses, or college prep courses, at higher rates than their peers in traditional public schools.  Want to sort through the data yourself?
