dc.description.abstractThis study focused on the effect of immigration to the United States on educational achievement and mental health among families and their children and analyzed the impact on immigrant children concerning their academic performance in new school environments. It showed various mental psychological issues like anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and suicidal thoughts. Findings in the literature affirm that the language and acculturation barriers are compounded with social and peer concerns, and learning-behavioral challenges to create “gaps” in the performance of immigrant children.
