SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL FOR GAO-24-106360: Technical Materials for Regression Analyses on Student, Teacher, and School Characteristics Associated with English Learners' Academic Performance

In the U.S., students whose native language isn't English may have academic trouble in school, where the instruction is primarily delivered in English. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of students learning English grew from 4.5 to 5 million in K-12 schools.

For our recent Q&A report on this topic, we performed regression analyses on three Department of Education datasets to test the association between student performance and specific student, teacher, and school characteristics.

This supplement presents technical details on our analyses and the full results.
