[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What was your child’s score? If your child gets a 4.4 he has exited and is no longer considered an ESOL student and would no longer take WIDA. You didn’t mention if he took it more recently.  You should have gotten notifications from your school.
Easiest thing to do is contact your child’s school if you’re unsure of ESOL status.[/quote]

Overall score in 2019 was 3.0 and 4.7 in 2020.
Also from the FCPS TJ admissions policy:

[quote]3. Methods and Instruments of Measurement
(a) In addition to each applicant’s academic record, including GPA and
coursework, admissions evaluators will consider:
(1) Applicant responses to one problem-solving essay question.
(2) Applicant responses on a student portrait sheet.
(3) Background of educational challenges, specifically whether students are
[b](or were)[/b] identified as English language learners, economically disadvantaged,
or eligible for special education services.[/quote]

So from my understanding and according to this policy, since my kid took WIDA for 2 consecutive years, he still falls under this category..[/quote]
