C What Are the ELA and Math Pass Rates of English Language Learners in Schools with Different Characteristics? Elementary MCAS ELA and Math Pass Rates in Schools with Different Characteristics The differences in ELA pass rates among LEP students in schools with different characteristics are significant in relation to the poverty rate of schools, accountability status, and teacher qualifications. Table 41 shows that LEP students have higher pass rates in ELA when they are enrolled in elementary schools: • with lower poverty rates; • that had met AYP goals in Math and ELA; • that had a proportion of licensed teachers higher than the district; and, • that had lower proportions of courses taught by highly qualified teachers than the district’s average. The density of LEP students, the school’s accountability status, and the proportion of courses taught by highly qualified teachers are significant in the differences of Math pass rates of LEP students. For LEP students, Math pass rates are higher in elementary schools that have higher densities of LEP students and in elementary schools with lower pro- Table 41.

Middle School ELA and Math Pass Rates in Schools of Different Characteristics The differences in ELA pass rates among LEP students in different types of schools are statistically significant in relation to the size, poverty rate, and LEP density of the schools, and to their accountability status. LEP students’ middle school ELA pass rates are higher when they are enrolled: • in large middle schools; • in schools with lower poverty rates; • in schools with a high LEP density; and, ! • in schools that met AYP goals in ELA. Differences in Math pass rates among LEP students are significant in regard to school size, school poverty rate, the density of LEP students, the school’s accountability status, the proportion of teachers licensed in teaching assignment, and the proportion of courses taught by highly qualified teachers. LEP students showed higher MCAS Math pass rates when they were enrolled in large middle schools, in schools with lower poverty rates, in schools that met AYP goals in ELA and Math, and in schools with teacher qualifications at or below the district average.
