The placed students scored higher on course grade, final exam, and cloze test. Placed students have a course grade mean of 2.99. Meanwhile, the continuing students have a course grade mean of 2.04. Placed students mean score of 67.83. In addition, continuing students mean score of 55.31. Places students had a smaller standard deviation for the course grade with .62 (Brown, 1998).

Females: 41.7 / 73.6 = 0.566576 = 56.7 %. The pass score of 56.7% shows that there is evidence of adverse impact: 62.5 / 77.7 = 0.8043758 = 80.4%. The pass rate which is 80.4% indicates that there is no evidence of adverse impact.

Resilience Theory addresses that people demonstrate to rise and succeed as long as the risk factors are alleviated. The four factors associated with resilience theory are “risk factors, protective factors, vulnerability areas, and compensatory strategies.” (Page 5) The purpose of the study is to “know something is an essential step toward being able to replicate and spread it” and “the second reason is the ongoing goal of increasing general understanding of the experiences of the students, and giving them a voice.” (Page 6) Also the purpose of the study is to promote the academic achievement in America and give hope to those who belong to an ethnic minority group and low socio-economic status so they could succeed in terms of education.

Furthermore, to justify this study, another arising credential is the determined number of students passing the examinations. The fourth year public high school students passing the institute of higher learning gives a significant resolution to the argument rose upon by using English language in the field of teaching. The passing percentage of students coming from public schools provides us with enough basis. College entrance exams in prominent universities here in the Philippines are mostly presented in full English text, except for the UPCAT exam. The number of students passing entrance examinations as presented facts is further established through accumulating data, which serves as its foundation.
