RODRIGUEZ-IZQUIERDO, Rosa M.. Diversity in School Trajectories of Immigrant Students. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2022, vol.67, n.246, pp.321-345.  Epub 08-Mayo-2023. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2022.246.77587.

This article aims to analyze the school careers of immigrant students and determine to what extent some sociodemographic variables (gender, origin, length of stay in Spain or mother tongue) affect these careers. From a study involving 172 students (52.3 % female, 47.6 % male) aged between 6 and 16 years (M= 12.6; SD = .79) we analyze four aspects: 1) the mobility of the centers through which these students traversed, 2) the suitability rate or the grade in which they have attended school and its relationship with chronological age, 3) the grade repetition rate, and 4) the graduation rate or the higher grade they achieve in their schooling. The results indicate the diversity of school trajectories and that these are related to variables such as gender and mother tongue. Finally, some practical implications to improve the successful schooling of immigrant students are discussed.
