This brief presents the most current data available on the health, education and family well-being of children in California's immigrant families, who represent 51% of the state's total child population. It challenges misinformed and negative stereotypes about children in immigrant families. For example, 85% of children from immigrant families in California are U.S. citizens, and nearly three-quarters of them are bilingual. The brief presents data showing that adults in immigrant families have less formal education. Children in imigrant families are less likely to attend preschool. English learners are less likely to meet California's academic achievement standards. The report also highlights the difficult, additional challenges faced by immigrant children and their families, such as barriers to English language acquisition and lower rates of health insurance coverage versus their non-immigrant peers.
