There is evidence of the impact of school segregation on students’ academic
achievement, but it is debated whether the extent of this impact is dependent on
students’ socioeconomic status, or on their native or non-native condition. This
research addresses the problem in Spain, seeking to determine how immigrant and
socioeconomic segregation affect the academic achievement of native and
non-native students. With this aim, the PISA study database was specially exploited
by means of two-tier Multilevel Models, estimating school segregation through the
Hutchens Square Root Index. Specifically, the study estimates the influence of school
segregation on students’ academic achievement in the subjects of Mathematics,
Language and Science. The results confirm that school socioeconomical and
immigrant segregation affect students’ academic achievement differently. Whereas
socioeconomic segregation negatively affects both groups in all three subjects,
immigrant segregation affects non-native students more strongly. Thus, data shows
school segregation on socioeconomic grounds is always significant, and always has a
considerable impact on achievement, regardless of students’ national origin. School
segregation reproduces and accentuates conditions of social injustice. To counter its
harmful effects, it is necessary to act first and foremost on socioeconomic
segregation, as this causes the most devastating effects in education, particularly for
non-native students
