Our scholar population is close to 100% Latino. Most come to school with English as a second language or with very little to no English background. For this reason, we are a dual-language school in which are mission is to "provide a quality dual-language education which creates bilingual-bi-literate learners in an environment of familia and community". Our school is like a big family (familia) and we all support each other in many ways. Because our school has adopted a 50/50 model for dual-immersion, our scholars learn half the day in English and half the day in Spanish. They are very eager and open to learning two languages and embrace it very well. Our school is very effective. This year our school's focus is literacy. We are under new leadership this year and I am very confident that we are taking the steps to get our scholars where they need to be.
