Class sizes for English skills decrease in Hoover – Alabama
Tagged: Alabama, english language learners, student
After years of growth, enrollment in Hoover City Schools’ program for students with limited English proficiency has dropped for the first time.
School officials say it’s an indication that some immigrant families may be moving out of the city in search of jobs or more affordable housing.
Hoover’s English Language Learners program, which provides instruction to students who are not proficient in English, is among the largest statewide. The number of students in the program has increased every year since the school system’s inception in 1988. Between the 2002-03 and 2006-07 school years, ELL enrollment increased 77 percent in Hoover, compared with 63 percent statewide.”*
