NOTE: Data include all English learners enrolled at the beginning of the school year, regardless of program participation. Caution should be used when comparing 2020 and 2021 estimates to those of other years due to the impact that the coronavirus pandemic had on reporting Title III data.

¹Data for Puerto Rico are for students with "limited Spanish proficiency" or Spanish learners, instead of "English Learners," as Spanish is the language of instruction in Puerto Rico.

NOTE: Data include all English learners enrolled at the beginning of the school year, regardless of program participation. Caution should be used when comparing 2020 and 2021 estimates to those of other years due to the impact that the coronavirus pandemic had on reporting Title III data.
