Exiting Criteria

For an English Learner (EL) to be considered for exiting the ESL program, they must score a minimum of 4.5 on the annual WIDA ACCESS 2.0 test. In addition, two language inventory forms are completed and reviewed as a part of the reclassification decision making process. Evidence of language proficiency is gathered and reviewed to determine if a student meets the minimum score requirement for reclassification. If a student is reclassified, the ESL teacher is responsible for monitoring that student's progress for two years to ensure that language is not impeding their ability to participate on grade level. Reach out to your child's ESL teacher for more information on the reclassification process.
