Abstract | Why do some low-income immigrant and native-born Latino students do well in school while others do not? Why are low-income Latino students less successful in school than their White peers? What are the effects of institutional mechanisms on low-income Latino school engagement? For the past two decades, the most persuasive answers to these questions have been advanced by the cultural-ecologists, who suggest that differences in academic achievement by race result from minority groups' perceptions of the limited opportunity structure. However, variations within the Latino student population remain - some Latino students succeed and some fail. This article ... describes the results of a study that examined how school programs construct school failure and success among low-income immigrants and U. S.- born Latino students. The results ... show that, from students' perspectives, institutional mechanisms have an impact on Latino school engagement, and [the author] links cultural-ecological explanations and institutional explanations.
