Notes: 1 Includes all LEP students in 4th , 8th and 10th grade who took the MCAS test<br />
in SY2009. 2 Includes only those LEP students who had taken MEPA and MCAS in<br />
SY2009. 3 The difference in MCAS ELA pass rates between LEP students scoring<br />
at MEPA level 5 and EP students is significant among 4th graders (p=.000, minimal<br />
effect size); it is not significant among 8th or 10th graders. 4 The difference in MCAS<br />
Math pass rates between LEP students scoring at MEPA Level 5 and EP students<br />
is significant among 4th graders (p=.000, minimal effect size); it is not significant<br />
among 8th or 10th graders. 5 The difference in MCAS Science pass rates between<br />
LEP students scoring at MEPA level 5 and EP students is not significant <strong>for</strong> 8th or<br />
10th graders. 6 Represents less than 10 students.<br />
