66.7% of english learners students at Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District graduated in 2017-2018

Test 15

Students classified as english learners rank 11th for completion of graduation requirements among students in Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District for the 2017-2018 school year with the completion of graduation requirements at 66.7 percent, according to the California Department of Education.

According to CDE data, graduation rates indicate an increasing achievement gap between Latino, Black, and English learner students. The achievement gap refers to the disparities in academic performance associated with race and class.

According to the National Centre for Education Statistics, in the 2017-2018 school year, of the 50 states where data was collected, students with disabilities were at the bottom of 4-year high school graduation rates by student group.

In The Effects of English Learner Classification on High School Graduation and College Attendance, Angela Johnson, a research scientist at NWEA, says, “prior research suggests that inequities exist in the quality of education experienced by current English learners and non-English learners and that these inequities explain achievement gaps in middle and early high school.”
