Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Boys are disproportionately represented among students designated as LTEL7 in California (56% vs. 51% of other ever-ELs) — related
- Students designated as LTEL7 in California overwhelmingly began schooling at the lowest English proficiency levels (64% at Beginning vs. 40% of other ever-ELs) — related
- Schools with higher concentrations of LTEL7 students have higher chronic absenteeism, lower graduation rates, and fewer fully certified teachers — related
- Students designated as LTEL7 who reached the recommended CAASPP ELA achievement cut point were not yet reclassified as fluent English proficient — related
- Rural and less populous California counties have higher proportions of ever-EL students designated as LTEL7, despite lower absolute numbers — related
- English learners lag behind their peers in achievement and attainment; limited exposure to academic content is offered as a partial explanation, not tested — a broader claim this one bears on
