Nearly half of Houston's 2017 valedictorians were once ESL students
- weston 9y agoFrom the article: "In the Houston ISD, nearly half of this year's highest-ranking students once struggled to speak English, making them among the largest groups of non-native English speakers to be named valedictorians and salutatorians by the district since 2007. About 44 percent of Class of 2017 graduates were once English-language learners, the district reports." "While Spanish speakers make up the bulk of English-language learners, there are about 100 different languages spoken by students and families in HISD."
