مستخلص: Newcomer programs support recent immigrant, English learner students beyond what is typically offered in the traditional English learner classroom by providing students with innovative teaching methods and nonacademic support. In Houston ISD, Liberty High School is a separate-site program that serves high school-aged and older newcomer and immigrant students. To accommodate older students' job schedules, Liberty offers both day and night programs in which students can earn their high school diploma. Given the growing number of adolescent newcomer students in Houston ISD, it is important to understand how recent immigrant, English learner students choose newcomer programs and schools. Using 12 years of administrative data, this research brief describes which student characteristics predict enrollment at Liberty High School. Results show that economically disadvantaged students, students from Central America and Mexico, students who lived closer to the school, and students who lived in neighborhoods with higher concentrations of immigrants were more likely to enroll.
