Nationwide, 5% of three million teachers (full-time equivalent) are in their first year of teaching. However, schools serving the highest percentage (top 20%) of black and Latino students in their school district are more likely to employ teachers who are newest to the profession. These schools reported 6% of their teaching staff as being in their first year of teaching in any school, compared to 4% in schools with the lowest percentage (bottom 20%) of black and Latino students in their districts.
