Close to 10% of the student population comes from homes where a language other than English is spoken. This translates into five million English Language Learners (ELL). The students’ English skills are not sufficiently developed to benefit from a curriculum delivered in English exclusively and they need some accommodations in the form of English as a second language and/or other programs to support their comprehension. Spanish is spoken in approximately 80% of those home. The other 20% of children speak one of two hundred other languages. Interestingly, the second language most widely spoken in the nation (other than English) is Vietnamese (2.4%). All other languages are spoken by fewer than 2% of the students.
