Episode Details

Philadelphia’s school district is grappling with a growing crisis: over 25,000 English learners—more than double a decade ago—are falling behind, with only 70% graduating on time compared to 88% of their peers.

Despite district promises to expand ESL classes and train teachers, families say support remains inadequate. Educators and advocates agree: older English learners need urgent, tailored interventions to stay in school and succeed.
