[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the reason why black students in Alexandria perform even worse than Hispanic students with a language barrier? Are they really that much worse off financially? Seems hard to believe.[/quote] 27% of Alexandria residents are African-born. So a lot of those "black" students in Alexandria are probably ESL students. Also, Hispanic doesn't necessarily mean English isn't their first language. [/quote] On page 5 of the 2010 ACPS document below there is a slide presented by Monte Dawson, then Executive Director Department of Accountability: "African-American and Latino Program Participation Broken out by Ethnicity". It shows roughly that about 18% of African Americans and 63% of Latino's were ESL. Too bad Mr. Dawson has left ACPS; he was unique. http://www.acps.k12.va.us/mes/presentations/20101113-trends.pdf[/quote]
