Christina Torres knows what it’s like to be one of very few gifted students of color in a classroom of mostly white students. After one of her teachers advocated for her, giving her the opportunity to retake the test for the gifted and talented track after she missed by only a couple points, Torres said she was disconnected from many of the other Latino kids at school, most of whom attended regular classes.
