After providing context about the NYC Department of Education’s (DOE) ELLs, the report will delve into more detailed information so as to enable comparisons to be drawn regarding geography, academic performance, and sub-groups. The goal of this report is to provide readers with an enriched sense of our ELLs.  \nA note about data collection:  \nEach DOE school must report information about their ELL students into Automate the Schools’ (ATS) Bilingual Education Student Information Survey (BESIS) . Beginning in November of each school year, the Division of Information and Instructional Technology compiles this data, which is reviewed and verified throughout the year to strengthen its reliability and make ELL funding more responsive to schools with changing ELL populations. The 2011-2012 BESIS data in this report was gathered during the annual October 2011 condition and has been reviewed, revised, and verified by ELL Compliance and Performance Specialists during the winter months. Unless otherwise noted, the data in this report does not include charter school students.  \nCurrent ELLs are a distinct student population and should not be used as a proxy for immigrant students. Graphs presented in the pages that follow have been sourced and dated. All narrative writing aims to describe the populationsand conditions discussed as accurately as possible based on the available data.  \nReaders who are interested in learning more about school-based demographic information can visit any school’s website and explore their “statistics” link, through which data for the last three school years can be located.  \nBecoming an ELL  \nWhen enrolling their child in a DOE school, parents and guardians must fill out a Home Language Identification Survey (HLIS) . If parents indicate that a language other than English is spoken in their home,1 their child is given a test called the Language Assessment Battery-Revised (LAB-R), which is designed to determine language proficiency. Those students who score below a State-determined level on the assessment become ELLs. During the spring of each school year, ELLsin grades K to 12 take the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT), which is designed to measure language development. Students remain current ELLs until they earn proficient scores on the NYSESLAT; those students who pass the test are considered former ELLs.  \n1 There are 180 languages spoken in the homes of DOE students citywide.  \n1  \nELLs within the context of the entire DOE student population  \nJust over 41% of the students enrolled in New York City public schools speak a language other than English at home. That means that there are 438,131 students living in households where English is not the primary language spoken. To contextualize this number, think about it this way: the number of students who speak a language other than English at home is larger than the population of 41 state capitals, and it’s nearly half of Delaware’s entire state population.2  \nELLs make up 14.4% of the entire DOE student population, as there are 159,162 ELLs enrolled in the school system. The DOE has slightly more male than female ELLs, as 88,567 or 55.6% of our ELLs are male. 69. 2% of our ELLs rece","cbCaicPBoAbg8v25","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicPBoAbg8v25","pdf",766970,14,"English","# Acknowledgments\n# Introduction\n# A note about data collection\n# Becoming an ELL\n# ELLs within the context of the entire DOE student population\n# Languages spoken\n## Top 12 ELL Languages\n# Borough of residence","[{\"question\":\"How are students identified as ELLs in NYC DOE schools?\",\"answer\":\"Parents and guardians complete a Home Language Identification Survey.
