[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on your question, it's clear you've arrived to your ranking of schools by judging the success of ESOL students. Frankly, the majority of posters here don't care about the success of ESOL students, so I don't understand why that metric is used so often to compare schools.

We need a better way to know how the actual teachers and administration are performing in order to rank the actual schools, not the ESOL kids.[/quote]

Illegal immigrants will do that to a school/[/quote]

Many Asian students are ESOL. English is their second language. I was one of those Asian kids. My parents taught me to read and write English when I was in Korea and I never had to go to ESL because I could keep up in school.

We live in McLean zoned for Langley. There are a lot of Asian students who are not even immigrants. They are here for a few years. Some are in ESOL. Many don’t need it even though English is their second language. Same for the Europeans. Well educated immigrants perform well regardless whether English is their second language.[/quote]

Asian immigrants in Great Falls zoned for Langley were among those screaming the loudest back in 2019 against ever getting zoned back to Herndon (not that it was going to happen any time soon; it was just a wedge issue the Republicans came up with to try and stir people up). It was ugly. [/quote]
