This study assesses whether bilingual education has had a positive or negative impact on ELL students' testing performance in the last eight years after Oceanside Unified School District's (OUSD) increased test scores deemed them a success story to do away with bilingual programs. Test scores of elementary ELL students from two school districts with strong opposite stances on bilingual education and two elementary schools with the largest percentage of ELL students within their districts were examined:

Oceanside Unified School District (OUSD): Ditmar Elementary

National School District (NSD): Kimball Elementary
