Students who meet the following eligibility standards are defined as immigrants:

  • Children/youth ages 3 through 21.
  • Born outside of the United States and its territories.
  • Have attended school in the United States for less than three full academic years.

Student eligibility is verified from a student's enrollment forms and a Home Language Survey completed by parents/guardians.
