Abstract: In this statewide multiyear investigation, the extent to which differences were present on the STAAR English I End-of-Course exam for Texas high school students as a function of their language status (i.e., Emergent Bilingual, Non-Emergent Bilingual) for two years preCOVID-19 pandemic (2017-2018 and 2018-2019) and three post-pandemic years (2020-2021, 2021-2022, and 2022-2023) was explored. Archival data from the Texas Education Agency's Public Education Information Management System were obtained for five school years. The percentage of Emergent Bilingual students who met the Approaches Grade Level, Meets Grade Level, and Masters Grade Level standards were statistically significantly lower than the percentages of Non-Emergent Bilingual students who met these three grade level standards. Findings were consistent across all five school years on all grade-level standards.
