New York City schools have enrolled thousands of migrant students in more than 300 schools since July, according to newly released data from the Department of Education.
up to embrace the newcomers, the new data offers the clearest picture yet of how thousands of new students living in homeless shelters and other temporary housing are enrolling in public schools in every borough.
Queens took in the most new students, with 1,936 new enrollees across 107 schools. The Bronx followed with an additional 1,516 new students at 113 schools. Some schools that specialize in teaching newly arrived immigrants also received large numbers of students. “I think we can glean from the data that there has been a significant influx of students and families into the New York City shelter who've recently arrived to this country and that many of the schools where they’re enrolled were not prepared for that influx. Nor was the shelter system,” said Jennifer Pringle, of Advocates for Children.
