and number of years enrolled in US schools,
but the performance levels differed (see Fig. 2). The ELD/ELA stream, in which
11 % of ELs enrolled, was restricted to ELs who were at Beginning to Early
Intermediate levels of ELP, performed Basic or BB on the CST-ELA, and were in
EL status for less than 4 years. Students enrolled in a three-period, multigrade ELD/
ELA/social studies block that provided ELD with the High Point curriculum at a
decelerated pace and very limited access to core ELA and social studies. Like CMS,
KMS used High Point on a decelerated schedule, but it provided a 2-year rather than
3-year program, beginning with Introduction and ending with the fourth-grade level.
