English as a Second Language

About ESL

Rutherford County Schools provides an English as a Second Language program for students who have a primary or home language other than English and qualify for services. 

These students receive specialized instruction to ensure that all students, regardless of language proficiency, have access to a quality educational program.

The District Plan and Title III OCR Compliance Report [below] provides a detailed description of Rutherford County's ESL program services.
