Would they get basic literacy and math support? If there are other options available, I would get him out of the multiple science classes. Can he take art more than once and with different lessons during the day? What sort of literacy help is he getting, how often and through whom? This should be in addition to ESL class, as your initial focus will be on communicative language. He should also receive some basic math skills. Students with similar profiles have caused my district to rethink their servicing of ELL's who also happen to come in with skills that are not at grade level. This is not only an ESL issue, it needs to involve the entire school.
