This slide shows MAS and non-MAS enrollment by income level. Income definitions are derived from participation in federally subsidized school lunch programs + census track data.

Enrollment of Latinos and non-Latinos in MAS classes: an average of 412 Latinos have enrolled in at least one MAS class per semester since 2000-01 school year. Over the 10-year period, 8656 Latino students and 1107 students of other ethnicities/races took at least one MAS class. Currently, 32,000 Latino students are enrolled in TUSD.
This slide shows graduation rates for students who took at least one MAS program vs students who never took an MAS class. These data have not been broken down by race/ethnicity, gender or income. Another drawback is that the numbers of MAS students are small.
