Supports for Newcomer Students

September 30, 2024

In recent years Massachusetts schools have seen a surge in newcomer students—a term used to refer to students who have receently arrived in the country and are new to our education system. This group of students, who are often highly resilient and eager to learn, need heightened academic, language, and social supports to thrive in an education system that was not designed for their success. Because many suburban and rural communities have enrolled unprecedented numbers of migrant students in recent years, districts all across the Commonwealth—not just the state’s traditional hubs for newly arrived immigrants—are looking to identify and apply effective strategies for supporting this growing student population. This month we're digging into the data on newcomer students in Massachusetts and looking at how schools can best support our newest residents.
