[quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here - my kids' school has a large ELL population and definitely groups them together. There are typically 4-5 classes in each grade and two of those classes have far more ELL children than the others. This is our 6th year at the school and it's been the same every year (with two different principals).[/quote]

Yes, it is common to group ELL and even special education students in certain classes due to staffing--if a special education or ELL teacher has students in 4, 6, or 8 classes, it means they either have less time in each class or end up pulling students out of the classes, which is not ideal. so you may see special education students grouped in three classes and lower-level ELL students grouped in three classes, with the respective teachers teaming up with the classroom teachers for most of the day.

At my school the students are grouped by grade-level teachers at the end of the year, and at some point over the summer the administration assigned the next year's classroom teacher to the grouped levels of students.[/quote]
