They also showed less growth. Of those taking the SAT and PSAT for example, only students with disabilities showed less growth.Helping English learners recover from the pandemic has been a complex problem nationwide.  And test scores aren’t the only warning sign about how English learners in Colorado schools are faring: While nearly a third of Colorado students were chronically absent last year, for example, 40% of English learners missed enough school to get that la...
