Well, it really depends on whether ESOL is really teaching English to speakers of other language or whether it's actually being done as supplementary instruction in Spanish with modification of assignments to the point of not really requiring much.
I agree that if the students are really getting ESOL, then your claim is actually really generous in the number of years it ought to take.
