[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Surrounding districts have much higher proficiency levels for students with disabilities than ACPS

Fairfax is 52% for reading, 47% math 
Loudoun is 50% for reading, 45% math 
Arlington is 52% for reading, 45% math

Do these figures identify which of these students are both EL and SWD? ACPS has an incredibly diverse student body. A student with a disability who is also learning English is probably going to be less proficient. — former teacher[/quote]

No. As a percentage of student body, 11% of ACPS Students are SWD, Fairfax is 16%, Loudoun is 11% and Arlington is 15%.

I don't think it's fair to pin ACPS extremely poor performance on ELL. I hear that all the time from UMC parents as the reason their kids are doing great but the school is performing poorly. It's has more than a hint of racism, privilege and classism.

One only needs to look at the data from LC to see that ELL doesn't have to mean such a large barrier to proficiency the way it is at the other ES. And yes, LC has a smaller ELL population than some of the other schools BUT the population v. proficiency percentages don't track.
