Enrollments
in California schools have been steadily increasing for more than 15 years,
though the pace has slowed lately and is expected to level off in the
middle of this decade. The percentage of Hispanic students has steadily
grown (they are expected to form the majority by 2009-10) while
African-American and white students have declined. Remaining fairly
constant is the percentage of students of Asian, Pacific Islander, and
Philippine descent. A continuing trend is the increase in special student
populations, especially those who need to learn English.

Languages of English Learner Students
Yuba
City Charter School, 2002-03
|
|
While most
schools in California have a large
number of English Learners, Yuba City Charter
School does
not. We believe that these students are not drawn to our school due
to the excellent services they already receive in our District
schools.

About
a quarter of California's public school students need to learn English in
order to succeed in school. The percentages are highest in the early
grades -- about 36% of K-3 children in 2002-03. Of the many dozens of
languages in classrooms, by far the greatest number of English learners
speak Spanish.
A grade-by-grade list of the languages reported in California schools is at DataQuest.
