In San Juan School District 59% of our students are identified as having a second language influence. One of the major goals for our students who are influenced by a second language is to progress them to a point of being Fully English Proficient (FEP). To accomplish this they must be fluent English speakers, and competent English readers and writers, and they must maintain this level of performance for two consecutive years. Because of the measure of literacy the earliest a student can achieve this level of competence is by the beginning of the fourth grade. In the first year of this level of performance a student is referred to as a "Monitor" student.
In San Juan School District 22% of our PHLOTE students have achieved FEP status and another 18% are Monitor students. The balance of our PHLOTE students (60%) is still working toward English language proficiency. When these numbers are broadened to include all San Juan School District students, it means that 35% of all of our students are dealing with language proficiency issues.
The following is a rank ordering of our major campuses by percentage of students with English language issues--from highest to lowest:
| Mexican Hat Elementary | 68% |
| Monument Valley High | 64% |

| Montezuma Creek Elementary | 63% |
