A negative correlation between schools’ migrant share and students’ educational outcomes has been described in multiple contexts, including Spain. In this article, we concentrate on testing the implications of one of the main mechanisms explaining this relationship, which pays attention to the share of migrants who are not proficient in the language of instruction. Spain represents an interesting case due to the significant presence of migrants born in Latin American countries, who are Spanish native speakers. By exploiting the different shares of Spanish-speaking and non-Spanish-speaking migrants across schools in Spain, we are able to test whether the share of non-Spanish native speakers (rather than the share of migrant students) affects students’ test scores in math. Our results show that the concentration of non–Latin American migrant students is significantly and negatively associated with students’ math test scores, although the effect is very small.

Migrant Concentration in Schools and Students’ Performance: Does It Matter When Migrants Speak the Same Language as Nonmigrant Students?
