English Learners in Chicago Public Schools: A Spotlight on High School Students

by Alyssa Blanchard, Marisa De La Torre, Kaitlyn Franklin

What were the high school outcomes, college enrollment, and two-year persistence rates of English Learners-students who were still English Learners in high school, and those who were previously classified as English Learners but had attained English proficiency by high school?

Continuously reporting only on active English Learners obscures the successes of English Learners as a full group.

Two prior Consortium reports found English Learners are not perpetually low-performing, as publicly reported numbers suggest.

This new study shines a light on English Learners' high school and college experiences.
