Newcomers in American Schools

Meeting the Educational Needs of Immigrant Youth

Lorraine M. McDonnell, Paul T. Hill

ResearchPublished 1993

During the 1980s, the largest and most diverse group of immigrants arrived in the United States since the beginning of the century. These growing numbers of immigrants are having profound effects on the urban area where they concentrate and on the institutions called upon to assist them and their children to adjust and participate fully in the country’s economic, social, and political life. This report focuses on the responses of arguably the most important of these institutions: the schools.
