Overlooked and Underserved: Immigrant Students in U.S. Secondary Schools

This report focuses on two subpopulations of immigrant children that pose special challenges to secondary: immigrant teens who arrive in the U.S. school system with significant gaps in their schooling amd students from language minority homes who have been in U.S. schools longer, but have yet to master basic language and literacy skills. This report then focuses on four institutional challenges that the PRIME demonstration schools faced in strengthening education programs for immigrant children.
