    Our goal is to ensure all English Language Learners reclassify within 5 years. Prepare students to be 21st century graduates ready to thrive and succeed in college, career, and beyond, we must commit to 5 major principles: English proficiency in order to be successful in A-to-G  classes and college or career graduation. Reclassification is when a child demonstrates language proficiency sufficient to be successful in their academic classes. A high level of English proficiency is necessary to provide access for college and career.
