Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: As immigration continues to increase and become increasingly diverse, additional attention to immigrant students’ educational processes is necessary. Studies that have examined the educational expectations of children of immigrants have generally found that these students have high expectations for postsecondary education, often higher than nonimmigrants. However, research has demonstrated differences among these expectations based on various factors. Despite this, a thorough examination of immigrant status, race/ethnicity, and SES simultaneously has not been conducted. Using ELS data and logistic regression, I examine two different levels of educational attainment expectations. I expose differences in expectations by race/ethnicity, SES, and generational status among students and complicate the commonly accepted result that all immigrant students have higher expectations than nonimmigrants. Some of the most significant differences occur between Latino and white students. Implications for policy, practice, and further research are discussed.
