Title III - English Learner (EL)
The goal of Wilson County Schools English as a Second Language Program is to provide equal educational opportunities to students who have a primary home language other than English and who are English Learners (ELs). The main focus is to provide an English-rich environment in order for students to attain grade-appropriate academic achievement. This program, beginning in kindergarten and continuing through high school, will provide each limited English speaking child the opportunity to be successful in academic areas and to develop listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiency in order to be successful in all classes.ACCESS Testing
