This document summarizes the migrant student population at a school in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. It finds that of the school's 265 students, 87 (33%) are foreign migrants while 178 (67%) are Spanish nationals. However, many Spanish national students actually have foreign parents and speak a non-Spanish language at home, meaning the real immigrant population is higher. Specifically, the document concludes the real immigration rate is about 60% of students, most of whom require language support.
