PY - 2019 DA - 2019/04/16 TI - Generational status, immigrant concentration and academic achievement: comparing first and second-generation immigrants with third-plus generation students JO - Large-scale Assessments in Education SP - 7 VL - 7 IS - 1 AB - Immigrants and their children are the fastest-growing demographic group in the United States, and schools are often the first social institution young immigrants engage with on a sustained basis. As such, the academic achievement of immigrant students can be viewed as an indicator of their incorporation and a predictor of educational and employment outcomes in adulthood. In this study, we examined the factors associated with differences in mathematics achievement between first, second, and third-plus generation students in the US.
