Abstract

As rural Appalachian schools in Ohio struggle to overcome institutional bias and lack of understanding to accommodate the needs of the growing population of immigrant students from diverse countries immigrant parents struggle to fit into a new cultural environment and to secure the best education for their children. This qualitative study of twenty-nine southern Ohio counties examines the barriers and opportunities that each face and suggests ways of closing the educational, language, and cultural gap.
