Educational attainment of adults and school enrollment among high school and pre-school children are evaluated using Becker's theories of human capital investment and demand for schooling. Second-generation adult immigrants have the highest level of schooling, exceeding that of both first-generation and U.S. born, while the first-generation possess the highest level of pre- and high school enrollment. Teenage immigrants complete fewer school years and are less likely enroll in high school. Hispanics and Blacks lag non-Hispanic Whites. This gap narrows with higher order immigrant generations among Hispanics, but widens among blacks. However, schooling differences by country-of-origin are more complex. 410 0$aNew Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 410 0$aNew Americans. 606 $aImmigrants$xEducation$zUnited States 606 $aChildren of immigrants$xEducation$zUnited States 606 $aAcademic achievement$zUnited States 606 $aEducational surveys$zUnited States 615 0$aImmigrants$xEducation 615 0$aChildren of immigrants$xEducation 615 0$aAcademic achievement 615 0$aEducational surveys 676 $a371.826/912/0973 700 $aDebBurman$b Noyna$01863847 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958202003321 996 $aImmigrant education$94470534 997 $aUNINA
