Demographics
Demographics
The island is the result of the joining of several smaller islands (which helps explain its current length): L'île Saint-Denis, l'île Saint-Ouen, l'île des Vannes and l'île du Châtelier. Since the 1960s l'Île-Saint-Denis has housed immigrants, mostly from North African countries. Nadir Dendoune, a local author, said that l'Île-Saint-Denis had racial and ethnic diversity in the 1980s, as the neighborhood housed various groups of poor people, including Arabs, Black people, ethnic French, and other Europeans, and that at that time half of the students in area schools were White. In 2005, according to Dendoune, few of the students were White.
Education
Education
There are three primary schools in the commune: École Samira Bellil, École Paul Langevin, and École Jean Lurçat. Collège Alfred Sisley, a junior high school, is on the island.
