Abstract | This report describes and evaluates the bilingual program of the Auxiliary Services for High Schools (ASHS) Program in the New York City Schools for the 1974-75 school year. In 1974-75 there were 12 centers for this program distributed throughout all boroughs of New York City. Spanish was offered in nine of the programs, French in two, Greek in one, and Italian in one. The bilingual program provided for the development of increasing English skills through English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction. Beyond the ESL instruction, the bilingual program used the native or dominant language of the students to develop competencies in areas of reading development, math, science, social studies, and several other areas. Some students in Spanish were prepared for the General Education High School Equivalency Exam in English or Spanish versions. The program emphasized bilingual guidance and counseling for both academic and vocational needs of students. About l,397 students were served by the bilingual program in the 1974-75 school year. Among the major findings of the evaluation are the following: 1) students for whom completed test results were analyzed showed significant gains in reading scores, 2) reading in native languages showed significant gains in each of the languages for which test results were completed, 3) achievement in mathematics among the 12 centers showed significant differences with the exception of one school, and 4) for those students whose results were known, over 80% of the students who took the high school equivalency examination passed.
