The Title VII Newcomers Program of the Austin (Texas) Independent School District served 104 students in its second year of operation. The program was designed to improve the English language proficiency and academic skills of limited-English-proficient (LEP), immigrant students in 3 high schools. Most were native Spanish speakers. Major findings of the program evaluation for the 1991-92 school year include the following: (1) students are predominantly low-income, over-age for their grade, dominant or monolingual in a language other than English, and academically below grade level but demonstrate a commitment to their education; (2) participants, on average, showed improvement in language skills; (3) compared to similar LEP students, the participants performed better on measures of school success such as attendance and grade point average; they improved credits earned and had a lower dropout rate than anticipated; (4) staff opinion was that the program was very effective and assisted students in making the transition to English and the school culture; and (5) participant opinion was that the program was very beneficial academically, linguistically, and socially. Program and budget data and profiles of two graduating students are included. (MSE)
