Migrant Education Program, 2017-2018. Research Educational Program Report
Houston Independent School District
The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is authorized under Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. In an effort to comply with Title I, the HISD MEP works to assist migrant students to overcome the challenges of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, and other difficulties associated with a migratory lifestyle. The goal of the program is to ensure migrant students succeed in school, and to successfully transition to postsecondary education or employment. This 2017-2018 report examines the impact of MEP on migrant students' performance on the Iowa, Logramos, State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), and Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS) in 2017-2018 as well as migrant students' dropout and graduation rates in 2016-2017. Key Findings include: (1) There were 252 migrant students in 2017-2018 compared to 255 in 2016-2017; (2) A lower percentage of migrant (English learner) EL students scored at the Advanced high level on the TELPAS, measuring English acquisition, than EL students in the district; (3) There was an increase in the migrant student annual graduation rate, from 91 percent in 2015-2016 to 92.3 percent in 2016-2017; and (4) The annual grades 9-12 dropout rate of migrant students was fairly comparable to the district in 2016-2017 (4.8 percent versus 4.6 percent).
