ESL students tend to go to failing schools

A report released by the Pew Hispanic Foundation today found that students who are learning English typically attend schools with low standardized test scores.

The report also found that the low standardized scores are not solely due to the presence of English language learners (ELL). Rather, the performance of these schools is low among other student groups as well.

Low-performing schools tend to have high student-teacher ratios, high student enrollments and large numbers of students living in poverty.
