The number of returning migrants of school age in Puerto Rico has increased dramatically in the past five years. This study explored the perceptions of returning migrants and circulating migrant students of teachers, school, and self in Puerto Rico and the United States. The sample of 117 were recent arrivals from the mainland to the southern part of Puerto Rico. The circulating migrant students had more positive attitudes toward teachers, school, and self on the mainland than in Puerto Rico. The returning migrant students expressed a positive feeling toward school, teachers, and self in Puerto Rico.
