Abstract
This paper reviews the research on the impact of segregation on Latino students and ELs, including empirical research conducted in Arizona. It also reviews court decisions regarding students' right to be integrated with their mainstream peers, and provides data on the segregation of Arizona's Latino students and ELs. This paper also reviews the existing literature on the impact of segregation at both the school and classroom levels and pays special attention to the effects of linguistic isolation for ELs.
