Maryland: classified-EL share over time
Annual share of public-school students classified as English Learners.
Methodology note
- Maryland Department of Education, September 30 fall snapshot (112,081 EL students). Maryland publishes a multi-year EL series whose fall 2020 and fall 2021 figures match NCES Digest Table 204.20 within 0.01 percentage points (MDE 88,834 / NCES 10.1% and MDE 98,566 / NCES 11.2%), so the Maryland series can be treated as methodologically continuous with the prior NCES series. The 1.4 percentage-point increase over NCES's fall 2021 value (11.2%) tracks the documented upward trajectory through 2023-24.

About this figure
Each point is the fall-enrollment share of students classified as English Learners in Maryland'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 2023, the catalog falls back to figures published directly by the Maryland 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.
