History
Gabriela Mistral Elementary started off as the dual immersion program at Mariano Castro Elementary School in 1996.[3] While test scores appeared to be high at Castro, analysis showed a "persistent and wide achievement gap for low socioeconomic learners and for English Language Learners"[4] which made up 90% of the students of the traditional program. The task force reports showed that 67% of students in the dual immersion program scored proficient in English Language, whereas only 32% did in the traditional program.[5]
