Description: 

Charts presented at a Migration Policy Institute workshop highlight the concentration of Limited English Proficient (LEP) students in the nation's schools. Seventy percent of LEP students in Kindergarten through 5th grade are enrolled in only 10 percent of the country's public elementary schools. Charts also compare high- and low-LEP schools in terms of qualifications of the staff and availability of programs to serve LEP students.
