In addition to overcoming the obstacles of poverty, poor nutrition and a lack of health care, migrant children and youths in the United States face difficulties transferring records between schools, overcoming language and cultural barriers and succeeding in school despite social isolation. To respond to the needs of migrant children and youths, the Migrant Education Program (MEP) was authorized under Part C of Title I of the 1965 "Elementary and Secondary Education Act." The goal of the MEP is to ensure that all migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a GED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment. This report provides information from the Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) about migrant children and youths who were eligible and who participated in MEP-funded services during 2001-02. It also provides comparison data from schools years 1998-99 through 2000-01. Finally, it discusses the academic achievement of migrant students in 2002-03 (the most recent year for which data is available). (Contains 19 exhibits and 28 tables.)
