There were 3,765 English-language learner students and 96 teachers specially trained to work with this population in Hartford School District, according to data from 2016-17. Here's how that student-teacher ratio compares with similar districts and the statewide average.
Those 96 educators included 31 bilingual teacher(s) and 65 TESOL teacher(s).
TESOL and bilingual teachers differ in instructional practice. TESOL is english-only and teachers are trained to use visuals and other supports to help English learners. Bilingual teachers know two languages, and use both of them to teach and translate materials for students.

Each year, the state grades every school. The state’s grading system called "NextGen" is based on more than a dozen different measures, including how many students are chronically absent, enrolled in arts and Advanced Placement college-prep courses and graduate from high school. The largest weight is given to test scores.
The Smarter Balanced test replaced CAPT and CMT testing for measuring student performance. It's aligned with the Common Core curriculum. High school juniors in 2015-16 began taking the SAT in lieu of this test.
