The education and resources these refugee students receive can completely alter the direction of these refugees’ lives. Certain programs that are more supportive of refugee students and provide them the quality education they need in a way that is specifically tailored toward them reap positive results. Looking at a case study where a young refugee student named Moussa attended a refugee specific school and found that “Black [refugee] students at Moussa’s school were much more likely to graduate in four years than other black students citywide [New York] (85 percent versus 60 percent, Dryden-Peterson, and Reddick found), and the school fostered aspirations for college and professional success.” Schools such as Moussa's that are specially tailored for students of refugee background, have demonstrated significant benefits and appeal over public schools that do not address refugees' needs.
