This Education Week article talks about the academic gains of students participating in the Dual Language Immersion program at Collinswood Language Academy in North Carolina.

"At Collinswood Language Academy, a K-8 dual-language school in a working-class neighborhood in this Southern city, students produced some of the highest math achievement scores in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district.

And that's the case even though they learn all their math in Spanish, and take North Carolina's annual end-of-grade math exams in English."
