Our Multilingual / English Learners
We are proud of the fact that one third of our students come from bilingual homes. While we have over 50 languages spoken throughout our district, the most common are Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese and Arabic. We define Multilingual Learner (ML) as a student who is working toward proficiency in English. Our Multilingual students range from Newcomers, who have recently arrived in the United States, to students who have been in the United States for the majority of their lives and grown up in homes where their family’s native language is most spoken.
