This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? 36% of English Learners participated vs. 26% of non-English Learners, a statistically significant difference in multilevel models. → de la Torre 2023
q2 i? Students with an identified disability participated at 31% vs. 28% for students without, a difference that was not statistically significant in multilevel models. → de la Torre 2023

Descriptive participation rates by programmatic indicators (Figure 4). The report states the English Learner indicator was statistically significant in multilevel models, while the IEP indicator "was not statistically significant" (31% vs. 28% raw rates).
"36% of students identified as English Learners participated in the program compared to 26% of students who were not English Learners."
