Oregon: classified-EL share over time
Annual share of public-school students classified as English Learners.
Methodology note
- Oregon Department of Education, fall snapshot (68,038 EL students). Oregon-reported figures run roughly 0.5-1.0 percentage points above NCES across fall 2018-2020 (e.g., 2018-19 SEA 9.2% vs NCES 8.2%), with the gap narrowing to about 0.1 percentage points in 2020-21; the divergence likely reflects Oregon's inclusion of students in post-exit monitoring (NCES does not count them) or a snapshot-date difference. The 3.1 percentage-point increase from NCES's fall 2021 value (9.5%) to ODE's fall 2024 figure tracks documented enrollment growth, but the SEA series cannot be treated as methodologically continuous with NCES.

About this figure
Each point is the fall-enrollment share of students classified as English Learners in Oregon'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 Oregon 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.
