English as a Second Language (ESL)

Gatesville ISD offers an English as a Second Language program dedicated to giving students who are English language learners (also known as Emergent Bilingual (EB) students) the support they need to be successful in school. Course work is designed to draw on the strengths of students and help them reach their full potential.

Title III, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as reauthorized under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), aims to ensure that Emergent Bilingual and immigrant students attain English proficiency and develop high levels of academic achievement in English. Title III will also assist all English learners to meet the same challenging State academic standards that all students are expected to meet.
