[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In the schools above in question, that's very rare, as you will see when you compare the ELL percentage to the latino percentage for any of the above schools. The reason for this is that in DC, unlike perhaps some other parts of the US, the vast majority of latinos are first generation immigrants. Many came here during the wars from Salvador and Guatemala. I think it's completely fair to generalize on that point based on the actual facts of DCPS bilingual school demographics, notwithstanding that there may be the occasional native-English latino and some native-Spanish African Americans and some native-Chinese white people. [/quote] Also worth noting-- Don't assume all the ELL at these schools are Latinos. For example, Bancroft has a lot of kids from Vietnam and Ethiopia who are learning both English and Spanish. This probably has some effect on test scores.[/quote]
