Description:

The Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CSMD) has recently seen an increase in the size and diversity of its English learner student population. REL Midwest collaborated with CSMD on a study to examine the relationships between student and school characteristics with English learner student academic performance and English language proficiency. This included a focus on the relationships between school climate measures and English learner student performance. The findings can help CMSD determine where to focus its efforts and what relationships merit further investigation. The findings also may be relevant for other urban districts with growing English learner student populations.
