That area of the Kenmore-Tonawanda SD is seeing an increase in Hispanic students likely due to it being the closes suburban area to Buffalo's West Side, which is where the city's Hispanic population is concentrated and is arguably one of the most diverse urban areas in Upstate NY.

"An Uptown space once inhabited by the Ulster County Board of Elections is now home to a slice of Guatemala.
El Jaguar Restaurant, owned by Kingston siblings Jeremías Pop and Raquel Pop, has taken up residence at the leased 284 Wall St. building. The two are originally from Peten, Guatemala.
They said that they chose the name Jaguar for the animal’s notoriety in their homeland.
“It is the most notable animal in Peten, Guatemala,” they said in an email.
Jeremías Pop is a 17-year Kingston resident while his sister has lived in the city for seven years.
The Ulster County Board of Elections was located at the building until it moved into the former Daily Freeman headquarters at 79 Hurley Ave. in July 2022.
The siblings said they wanted the interior, which includes an open space with high ceilings, to be especially reflective of the country where they grew up.
“It reminds us of our country of origin, Guatemala, especially the area of Sutija, San Luis Peten Guatemala,” they said in an email. “(It) is all renovated (and) we have a pleasant atmosphere. We want to reflect happiness and that’s what we want to give to the people who visit us.”
The restaurant measures 2,100 square feet.
As for the food, it’s all about Guatemala.
“We especially have skewers that are served with beef and chicken, it is served with rice and beans and tortillas,” the siblings said.
El Jaguar Restaurant, which is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., also features Guatemalan steak, Carne Asada, fried fish, Ranchero eggs with a tortilla, eggs in cake with tortilla and eggs with tomato and tortilla, among other dishes.
Breakfast prices stay between $9 and $10; main meals are $16 to $30; and tacos are $4.50 while burritos are between $15 and $17.
For now, the Pops are the only employees at the restaurant.
It opened on Friday, April 26."
