[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At MVCC, reading proficiency for the entire student body is 53% and 19% for ELL students. Math proficiency is 46% for the entire school and 15% for ELL. At John Adams, reading for the entire student body is 56% and 46% for ELL. Math is 43% overall and 34% for ELL. Both are significantly under state proficiency levels for both categories but John Adams is the better school based on data.[/quote] Have you looked at the data in middle school for the same sample group? We're out of state, but kids in our DLI program score lower in elementary school on ELL and Math but it evens out by middle school. The argument is that they're going to score lower if half of their instruction is in a foreign language, but by middle school the gap closes. We found this to be true for our child (test scores slowly increased over the years and now they're solid). [/quote]
