The Houston Independent School District offered five different bilingual programs for language minority students during the 2012-2013 school year. In the Pre-Exit phase of bilingual education, students transition to a predominantly English-language instruction program in core subject areas. This report summarizes the performance of students who were in the pre-exit phase of the district's bilingual programs during the 2012-2013 school year. Included in this report are findings from assessments of academic achievement and English language proficiency, including results from the English State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), Stanford 10, and the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS).
