About the Project
These 5 briefs explore enrollment rates, academic performance, graduation rates, and reclassification trends for CA’s 1.1 million English Learners (ELs), and how CA MTSS can be used to support EL student success. This series of reports summarizes the current trends in enrollment and representation of EL students across the state of CA and how these trends have changed over the last decade.
These trends are contextualized in an overview of current policies and persistent challenges in EL education. In each brief, we discuss the landscape of California English Learners and the possible policy implications for CA MTSS. To better understand how MTSS has and can be used to support EL-classified student success, it’s necessary to understand the challenges and trends that describe this student population. This series summarizes findings on the enrollment rates, language diversity, ethnicity, geographic density, and reclassification status of EL students.
