How can Ms. Rose determine if the needs of immigrant students are being met?

The most effective way for Ms. Rose to determine if the needs of immigrant students are being met is by reviewing the graduation rates of immigrant students. Graduation rates serve as a crucial indicator of educational success and the overall effectiveness of the school in supporting all students, including those from immigrant backgrounds. By analyzing these rates, Ms. Rose can gain insights into whether immigrant students are facing unique challenges that could affect their ability to complete their education.

For example, low graduation rates could suggest inadequate support systems, such as language assistance, counseling, or cultural integration efforts. It may also highlight issues related to academic performance, social integration, or even external factors like family stability or socioeconomic conditions that disproportionately affect immigrant families.

Evaluating graduation rates provides a comprehensive view of the school’s effectiveness in meeting educational needs, making it an essential metric in assessing whether the educational environment is conducive for immigrant students to thrive and succeed.
