Focusing on the most pressing challenges facing the region, the Houston Education Research Consortium (HERC) is a research-practice partnership between the Kinder Institute for Urban Research and 11 Houston-area school districts. HERC research is developed directly alongside district leaders with findings shared with decision-makers—culminating in long-term, equity-minded solutions, opportunities and growth for Houston and beyond.  \n[DOI: ](DOI: doi.org/10.25611/0HHY-7028)[doi.org/10.25611/0HHY-7028](DOI: doi.org/10.25611/0HHY-7028)  \nResearch Brief  \nWho Goes to Newcomer Schools? Liberty High School  \nNewcomer programs support recent immigrant, English learner students beyond  \nwhat 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.  \nKey Findings  \nWhich student characteristics predicted Liberty High School enrollment?  \n1. Economically disadvantaged newcomer students were more likely to enroll at Liberty than noneconomically disadvantaged newcomer students.  \n2. Newcomer students from Central America and Mexico were most likely to enroll at Liberty.  \n3. Liberty High School enrollment did not vary by students’ level of oral English proficiency.  \n4. Newcomer students who lived closer to Liberty High School were more likely to enroll than newcomer students who lived farther away.  \nHow might Liberty’s outreach and recruitment strategies be associated with enrollment?  \n5. Students who lived in neighborhoods with higher shares of foreign-born residents were more likely to enroll at Liberty.  \nWho Goes to Newcomer Schools? Liberty HighSchool ~~  ~~1~~  ~~  \nBackground  \nWho are newcomer students?  \nNewcomer students are very recent immigrants to the U.S. with limited English language proficiency (U.S. Department of Education, 2016) . Compared to English learner (EL) students born in the U.S., newcomers may require support beyond what is typically offered in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms (Custodio, 2011; Short & Boyson, 2004) . Aside from their limited English language proficiency, many newcomer students arrive as refugees or asylees and have lived through traumatic events (Hos, 2020; Jaycox ","cbCaiocbjMhUtoAS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiocbjMhUtoAS","pdf",664380,16,"English","# Research Brief: Who Goes to Newcomer Schools?
