English Language Learners

In 2004-2005, approximately 5.1 million or 10.5 percent of the U.S. student population were English-language learners.

 

Approximately 79 percent of ELLs nationally are from Spanish-language backgrounds.

While English learners reside throughout the United States, they are heavily concentrated in the six states of Arizona, California, Texas, New York, Florida, and Illinois.

 
 

Despite the high concentration in six states, other states have experienced a 300 percent or higher growth of ELLs in a ten-year period from 1995 to 2005. These states include Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Most ELLs in both Elementary and Secondary schools are U.S. born.
