Abstract
Nationally, in school year (SY) 2021–22 over 350,000 students enrolled in rural locales were English learners (ELs). These students bring unique cultural, educational, and linguistic experiences that enrich their communities. However, they may also encounter educational challenges, such as high levels of poverty, limited educational funding, and educator shortages, that affect their educational achievement. This infographic provides an overview of this student group and highlights demographic information, enrollment concentrations, and languages spoken by ELs who attend schools in rural localities.
