Programs and Services for High School English Learners, 2015-16

Programs and Services for High School English Learners, 2015-16 (FRSS 107) is a study that is part of the Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) program; program data is available since 1998-99 at https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/downloads.asp. FRSS 107 (https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/index.asp) is a study that provides nationally representative data on programs and services for high-school English learners (Els), including instructional approaches, newcomer programs, online or computer-based programs, and programs or services (e.g., tutoring) designed specifically for high school Els. The study was conducted using mailed questionnaires that could be completed on paper or online. Public local education agencies (LEAs) instructing either of Grades 11 or 12 in the 50 United States and the District of Columbia were sampled. The study's weighted response rate was 89 percent. Key statistics produced from FRSS 107 include data on the use of native language(s) for content instruction, instructional support, materials, and services; information that LEAs provide about educational programs or services to Els aged 18 to 21 years-old seeking to newly enroll in the LEA; and factors LEAs consider when providing information about these programs and services to Els in this group.
