Louisiana: classified-EL share over time
Annual share of public-school students classified as English Learners.
Methodology note
- Louisiana Department of Education, October fall snapshot (35,660 EL students). EL identification via ELPS screener and ESSA entrance/exit criteria. Louisiana does not publish historical figures for fall 2018-2021 in directly accessible form, so methodological continuity with the prior NCES series cannot be confirmed from overlapping observations; the 0.4 percentage-point increase over NCES's fall 2021 figure (4.9%) is a modest upward continuation of the NCES trajectory.

About this figure
Each point is the fall-enrollment share of students classified as English Learners in Louisiana's public schools. Observations through fall 2021 are drawn from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Digest of Education Statistics, Table 204.20, the canonical national series; NCES has not yet republished this table for school years after 2021-22. For fall 2024, the catalog falls back to figures published directly by the Louisiana state education agency. State-agency methodology may differ from NCES — the methodology note above the data table records the difference, and the dashed line and hollow markers in the chart mark the boundary.
