English Language Learning (ELL) Assessment
Our District has extensive experience in supporting students who are English language learners. Our students have been very successful in obtaining English fluency while at the same time, completing their education in our program.
The purpose of the ELL assessment is to determine the student’s English ability in order to offer an integrated ELL and academic program consisting of ELL support classes and regular courses as they master English.
