Why are LEP enrollment counts by language group reported for only three categories, Spanish, Hmong, and Other?
For years, Spanish and Hmong have been the most common language groups reported for LEP students in Wisconsin. In fall of the 2008-09 school year, the Spanish and Hmong groups accounted for approximately 80 percent of the 47,866 LEP students enrolled. Over 100 language groups are included in the Other category. The next largest group accounted for only one percent of the 47866 LEP students.
