Abstract
Academic success is important for all children and adolescents. However, ELL and immigrant students often face greater challenges than other students. For this reason, academic support is critical to student success. This chapter addresses the academic success of ELL and immigrant students in high school. It begins with the assumption that academic success is multifaceted and not simply a matter of academic readiness. In particular, this chapter examines the importance of academic support and the positive interaction between family, teachers and students necessary for students' academic success.
