2Data for Puerto Rico are for students with "limited Spanish proficiency" or Spanish learners (SLs), instead of "English Learners," as Spanish is the language of instruction in Puerto Rico. However, Title III-A requires that an outcome of programs serving such children be increased English proficiency. The number of SLs receiving services is higher than SL enrollment reported in other tables due to a longer reporting period. Enrollment is collected at the beginning of the school year, while receiving services includes students identified as SLs at any point in the school year.
NOTE: A language instruction educational program (LIEP) is a course in which an English learner (EL) is placed in order to develop and attain English proficiency while meeting challenging state academic standards. An LIEP may include instruction in English and a child’s native language, and English-proficient children may participate in the course if it is designed to enable all participating children to become proficient in English and a second language. Estimates exclude prekindergarten ELs. 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.
