This report provides information about the educational experiences and opportunities of public school English learner (EL) students in the United States as compared to public school students overall during the 2017-18 school year (SY) based on analyses of two, large, federal datasets: the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) and the Common Core of Data (CCD). By providing stakeholders with information about EL experiences based on federal data collections, the Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) seeks to highlight available datasets relevant to ELs and model how these data might be used and provide insights about EL learning opportunities and environments that stakeholders may leverage to further their understanding of EL education. This report adds depth to state-level reporting by using data that are reported at the local educational agency (LEA) and school levels and providing context for whether ELs received the same or similar opportunities as other students in their public schools and LEAs.
