English Language Learner (ELL) students in the district's two main bilingual programs (Transitional and Dual Language) are instructed in both English and Spanish. The relative amount of instruction in each language depends on both program and grade level. Students in the Transitional Bilingual Program have the option of entering a pre-exit phase or strand in grades 3 or 4 as long as certain criteria are met. In this phase, English instruction is emphasized while introduction and reinforcement of new concepts are done in the primary language. This report summarizes data from ELLs who are in the pre-exit phase of the district's Transitional Bilingual Program (grades 3 through 5). 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) and the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS).
