The perception of stakeholders regarding the outcomes achieved by schools with high or low levels of effectiveness and high numbers of immigrant students. Improving Schools [First Published December, 2021] © 2021, SAGE Publications. https://doi.org/10.1177/13654802211056870 The aim of this study was to characterize those schools in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (Spain) with high numbers of immigrant students in accordance with their effectiveness level (high or low). Three effectiveness criteria (scores, residuals, and times) were used to select the schools, resulting in three models: a ceiling or floor effect model, a contextualized cross-sectional model, and a contextualized longitudinal model. Of the 524 initial schools analyzed, 7 were found to have high or low effectiveness levels and higher-than-average immigration levels. Following the selection, the discourses of 40 education stakeholders were analyzed through semi-structured interviews and discussion groups. The results highlight the strong sense of vulnerability felt in some schools, as well as the general conviction that greater support, commitment, and stable, collaborative leadership by the management team and inspectorate would contribute to improving effectiveness. This study was conducted within the framework of the R&D Project entitled ‘Longitudinal, contextualized study of schools with very high and very low levels of effectiveness. Design of school improvement actions’ funded by the Spanish Secretary of State for Research, Development and Innovation at the Ministry of the Economy and Competitiveness, as part of the State Program for Fostering Excellence in Scientific and Technical Research, with reference EDU2014-53511-P.
