ELL Enrollment Rate by County (School Year 2002–2003) By Richard Greenough

map of the NW states, minus Alaska, with the ELL Enrollment Rate by County for the School Year 2002-2003
ELL Enrollment Rate by County for the School Year 2002-2003 in Alaska

This map highlights counties that have high percentages of ELL student enrollment including tribal areas in Montana, Alaska Native villages, and migrant labor areas in Washington, Oregon, and southern Idaho. A map showing absolute numbers of ELL students enrolled would look quite different: More than half of the region’s ELL students are concentrated in only 10 counties in the Seattle-Tacoma, Portland-Salem, Boise, Anchorage, and Yakima metro areas.
