How has the ELL population increased in each state in the past ten years?
A national overview of the numbers of English language learners, as well as their gains in English language proficiency and their performance on content area assessments can be found in the Biennial Report to Congress. For a snapshot of national increases in the ELL population, NCELA’s poster The Growing Numbers of Limited English Proficient Students presents data from the 1995-96 school year through the 2005-06 school year. To learn more about the increases in population in the past ten years, by state, visit NCELA’s Title III State Information System and click on LEP Demographics, Performance, and Programs.
