Houston Independent School District
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) currently offers three bilingual programs and two English as a Second Language (ESL) programs for English language learners (ELLs). These programs are intended to facilitate ELLs' integration into the regular school curriculum and to ensure access to equal educational opportunities. This evaluation report summarizes the performance of students who participated in the HISD's bilingual and ESL programs during the 2013-2014 school year. Included in the report are findings from assessments of academic achievement and English language proficiency for all students classified as English Language Learners (ELL), demographic characteristics of students served by these programs, and a count of how many students exited ELL status. The report also summarizes the professional development activities of staff involved with the bilingual and ESL programs.
