Although I haven't taught a class, my friend's mother works at a school where 94% of the students are Hispanics.
She teaches ESL, and admits that there is an active language barrier, but the universal language often makes it easier. Unless the student has some sort of communicating problem other than the language barrier, many hand signals, and approval/disapproval is clearly portrayed. If you are planning to teach an all-Hispanic school, I highly advise you to learn some Spanish before you start your job.
My friend's mother teaches a poor district, and although they are underprivileged, they are eager to learn and due to the young age and lack of exposure, it should be an enjoyable experience.
I wish you luck!
