This document profiles the student body of Emma Donnan Middle School, which has high ethnic diversity, with most students identifying as either white or black. Over 90% of students speak English as their primary language. The school serves a high poverty urban community. Key takeaways note the risks students in such environments face, including lower academic success and self-efficacy, but that forming strong, supportive relationships with teachers can help mitigate these risks and improve student outcomes. One student, Raul Ramirez, is presented as a case study, who is bilingual but isolates himself and is showing signs of depression with declining school performance.
