[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Interesting because MVCC changed over a few years ago and they aren't really an immersion school in the sense they are trying to attract non Spanish speaking students but rather they are teaching in Spanish with the belief that teaching the students who are in the majority of the school population in the language they speak natively would improve their understanding and academic success instead of trying to learn those subjects in English.

What happens when those kids go to middle school? [/quote]

This isn't a belief. It's proven science that people learn better when taught in thier native language. It takes 7 years of learning a language to understand academic language. [/quote]
