abstract="The authors applied an adaptation of prior models of acculturation to all 16 Hispanic students attending a predominately Black, high-poverty, urban high school (n = 1,267 students) identified by No Child Left Behind standards as failing. No published study to date has investigated Hispanic acculturation within such a setting. <br><br>FINDINGS reveal that students were identified across all four acculturation modes of the model and that only half (n = 8) of students demonstrated substantial affiliation with a dominant U.S. culture. Of these, five students identified more strongly with the dominant Black culture of the school versus the prevailing White U.S. culture. <br><br>FINDINGS are discussed with respect to future research and practice designed to improve educational experiences for Hispanic youth.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
