Abstract	Immigrants are a vital part of America and help form the backbone of the economy and communities. Too often, however, immigrants are not given the same educational opportunities or necessary attention as their native-born peers in high school, leading to lower high school graduation rates and postsecondary attainment. Immigrant students face added challenges to education such as navigating new systems, family responsibilities, and financial pressures. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected people of color, immigrants, and low-income populations in the United States. This means existing barriers for many immigrant students, such as the digital divide and language skills, have increased exponentially. To reduce the education gaps between immigrant students and their peers and boost postsecondary attainment, policymakers and educators must rise to the challenge of creating a more equitable education system. Educators and policymakers must create culturally responsive education environments, encourage English Learners to learn in their native languages, increase Title III funding, and make education more accessible. In turn, this will reduce education gaps between immigrant students and English Learners and their peers, and lead to a stronger labor force. It is time for our country to rise to the challenge of being more equitable. (ERIC).
