Executive Summary 

In addition to overcoming the obstacles of poverty, poor nutrition and a lack of health 

care, migrant children and youths in the United States face difficulties transferring 

records between schools, overcoming language and cultural barriers and succeeding in 

school despite social isolation. 

To respond to the needs of migrant children and youths, the Migrant Education Program 

(MEP) was authorized under Part C of Title I of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act. The goal of the MEP is to ensure that all migrant students reach 

challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a 

GED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive 

employment. 

This report provides information from the Consolidated State Performance Report 

(CSPR) about migrant children and youths who were eligible and who participated in 

MEP-funded services during 2001-02. It also provides comparison data from schools 

years 1998-99 through 2000-01. Finally, it discusses the academic achievement of 

migrant students in 2002-03 (the most recent year for which data is available). This data 

is also available through the CSPR. 

Migrant Children and Youths 

• The population of eligible migrant children and youths aged 3-21 grew by 11 

percent between 1998-99 and 2001-02 (12-month count). 

• The unduplicated count of migrant students served in 2001-02 is 767,472. 

There were 645,952 migrant students in the regular term and 403,523 in the 

summer or intersession term. California, Texas, and Florida accounted for 53 

percent of the total regular-term migrant population and 64 percent of the 

summer- or intersession-term population. 

• The majority of migrant children and youths receiving services were 

Hispanic (89 percent) and more than half are male (53 percent). The Hispanic 

population grew 3 percent from 86 percent in 1998-99 to 89 percent in 2001-02. 

• The number of migrant students that have limited English proficiency has 

also grown. In 1998-99 there were 151,513 (22 percent) migrant children 

designated as LEP. In 2001-02 that figure had grown to 261,583 (34 percent). 

• The out-of-school youth population served by the program is growing, 

although the majority of migrant students could be found in elementary school. 

Out-of-school youths made up 9 percent of the regular-term population served in 

2001-02 (up 3 percent in the past three years), while elementary school age 

children comprised 43 percent of the population. 
x

• In 2001-02, 60 percent of migrant students in the summer or intersession 

term and 30 percent in the regular term received reading or language arts 

assistance. Forty-seven percent during the summer or intersession term and 19 

percent during the regular term received mathematics assistance. 

• The number of students who are designated as “priority for services” has 

steadily increased by 33 percent between the three school years 1998-99 and 

2001-02. The number rose from 242,138 in 1998-99 to 322,703 in 2001-02 

(during the regular term). The summer- or intersession-term population increased 

by 49 percent over the same period of time. Priority for services students are 

students whose schooling has been interrupted and who are failing or at risk of 

failing to meet state standards. 

• Seventy-four percent of the migrant children enrolled in Title I, Part A, 

schools were enrolled in schoolwide programs and 26 percent were enrolled 

in targeted assistance programs. 

MEP-Funded Staffing 

• There has been an increase in staffing in both the regular and summer- or 

intersession terms. From 1998-99 to 2001-02 regular-term staffing increased by 

20 percent and summer- or intersession-term staffing increased by 12 percent. 

• Teachers, bilingual teachers, and teacher aides accounted for a higher 

percentage of staff for the summer- or intersession term (66 percent) than for 

the regular term (46 percent). 

• Of noninstructional staff, recruiters and nonclerical support staff accounted 

for more staffing units than other job categories—recruiters made up 24 

percent of the regular-term noninstructional total and nonclerical support staff 

accounted for 19 percent of the summer- or intersession-term total. 

MEP-Funded Projects 

• Migrant project sites were much more likely to offer services during the 

regular term (84 percent) than the summer or intersession term (47 percent). 

More than half (53 percent) of sites offered services only during the regular term, 

and 31 percent offered services during both regular and summer or intersession 

terms. Summer- or intersession-term only programs accounted for 16 percent of 

project sites. 

• Extended-time approaches such as before- and after-school or weekend 

programs were offered in just over one-fourth (27 percent) of regular-term 

project sites. Regular-term only projects have decreased 2 percent from 6,051 in 

1998-99 to 5,938 in 2001-02. Summer- or intersession-term only programs 

increased 3 percent from 13 percent in the previous year to 16 percent in 2001-02. 
xi

Achievement

• Migrant students lagged behind other students in third-grade and 

tenth-grade reading and mathematics achievement on state assessments in 

2002-03. 

o In the 43 states reporting third-grade reading assessment results for 

migrant students, 23 states (53 percent) showed a gap of 25 percentage 

points or greater between migrant students and all students in the 

percentage of students considered proficient (as defined by each state). In 

the 44 states reporting proficiency scores in third-grade mathematics, the 

achievement gap in 12 states (27 percent) was 25 percentage points or 

greater. 

o Of the 43 states reporting 10th-grade reading results on state assessments, 

26 states (60 percent) had a gap or 25 percentage points or greater between 

migrant students and all students in the percentage of students considered 

proficient. Of the 41 states reporting 10th-grade math results, 22 states 

(54 percent) had a gap or 25 percentage points or greater between migrant 

students and all students in the percentage of students considered 

proficient.

Introduction 

The purpose of this report is to provide information about migrant children and youths 

based on information submitted by states to the Department of Education through the 

Consolidated State Performance Reports. National and state trends are discussed for the 

years 1998-99 through 2001-02 for the participation data and 2002-03 for the achievement 

data. The report is divided into two sections. The first section provides a national view of 

children and youths who are eligible for and benefit from Migrant Education Program 

(MEP) services. The second part of the report presents state profiles summarizing 

information on MEP services and participants, including student achievement, in each 

state. 

The Migrant Education Program 

The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is designed to respond to the needs of migrant 

children and youths. The program’s goal is to support migrant students to reach 

challenging academic standards so that they will graduate with a high school diploma (or 

equivalent) and are prepared to be responsible citizens, continue learning, and obtain 

productive employment. The MEP was created in 1966 under Title I, Part C, of the 1965 

Elementary and Secondary Education Act and has been amended, most recently in 2001 

through the No Child Left Behind Act. The purposes of the MEP, as defined in Section 

1301 of the ESEA, are to: 

• Support high-quality and comprehensive educational programs for migrant children 

to help reduce the educational disruption and other problems that result from 

repeated moves. 

• Ensure that migrant children who move among the states are not penalized in any 

manner by disparities among the states in curriculum, graduation requirements, and 

state academic content and student academic achievement standards. 

• Ensure that migrant children are provided with the appropriate educational services 

(including supportive services) that address their special needs in a coordinated and 

efficient manner. 

• Ensure that migrant children receive full and appropriate opportunities to meet the 

same challenging state academic content and student academic achievement 

standards that all children are expected to meet. 

• Design programs to help migrant children overcome educational disruption, cultural 

and language barriers, social isolation, various health-related problems, and other 

factors that inhibit the ability of such children to do well in school, and to prepare 

such children to make a successful transition to postsecondary education or 

employment. 

• Ensure that migrant children benefit from state and local systemic reforms. 
2 

The MEP provides state education agencies with funding to establish or improve programs 

of education for migratory children through a formula that is based on each state’s perpupil expenditure and counts of migratory children between the ages of 3 and 21 years old. 

According to the statute, a migratory child is defined as a child under 22 years of age: who 

is a migrant agricultural worker or fisher or who has a parent, spouse, or guardian who is a 

migratory agricultural worker, who has moved across school district boundaries within the 

previous 36 months either on his or her own, to join or with his or her migrant parents, 

spouse, or guardian in order to obtain temporary or seasonal employment in agricultural or 

fishing work. 
3 

Migrant Students, Staffing, and Projects 

This section discusses eligible and participating migrant children, MEP staffing, and the 

types of sites that serve migrant children and youths. 

Eligible Migrant Students 

Students who are eligible to receive MEP funded services are defined as those children of 

migratory workers who have, within the last 36 months, moved across school district 

boundaries in order to obtain temporary or seasonal employment in agriculture or fishing. 

The MEP categorizes migrant children and youths in two ways and provides funding based 

on these two counts. The two categories or counts used for funding purposes are the 12-

month count and the summer- or intersession-term count. Regarding the 12-month count 

of migrant children, eligible students are students from 3 to 21 years of age, who within 

three years of making a qualifying move, resided in the state for one or more days from 

Sept. 1 to Aug. 31 of the reporting year, in this case 2001-02. The 12-month count 

excludes participants who are not counted for funding purposes, including: 

(1) Children ages 0 through 2 years of age. 

(2) Students served in the year after their period of eligibility has expired when 

other services are not available to meet their needs. 

(3) Previously eligible secondary-school students who are receiving credit accrual 

services. 

The population of migrant children and youths in the United States continues to grow. In 

2001-02, a total of 872,732 migrant students were eligible for MEP support based on the 

12-month count. The total number of migrant students eligible for MEP support rose by 11 

percent over a three-year period, from 783,867 to 872,732 in 2001-02 (based on the 12-

month count).

Exhibit 1: Twelve-Month Counts of Migrant Students (1998-99 Through 2001-02) 

Exhibit reads: There were 783,867 eligible migrant students in 1998-99 according to the 12-

month count. 

The summer- or intersession-term count is based on the unduplicated number of eligible 

migrant children. An eligible child is counted if he or she was served in either the 

traditional summer- or year-round school intersession programs at least once. The 

summer- or intersession-term count shows a greater growth trend than the 12-month count. 

In 1998-99, there were 311,914 migrant children and youths participants eligible for 

funding purposes. In 2001-02 that number had increased 25 percent to 390,747 migrant 

children and youths. Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 show the increase in the migrant population 

over the past four years; based on the 12-month count and the summer- or intersession-term 

count of migrant students, the numbers of migrant students has shown an increase.

 Exhibit reads: There were 311,914 eligible migrant students in 1998-99 according to the summeror intersession-term count. 

Schoolwide and Targeted Assistance Programs 

Title I funds support schoolwide programs and targeted assistance programs. A schoolwide 

program upgrades the entire instructional program for the whole school, and, therefore, 

supports services to all students in the school. A targeted assistance program provides 

Title I services to those students and those students only who are determined to be at 

greatest risk of failing or have failed to meet state standards. Local education agencies use 

Title I funds for services targeted to eligible students with greatest need in targeted 

assistance projects. Targeted assistance projects served 26 percent of migrant students 

while schoolwide programs served 74 percent of migrant students (Exhibit 3).

Exhibit 3: Migrant Students in Targeted Assistance and Schoolwide Programs 

(2001-02) 

Exhibit reads: Seventy-four percent of migrant students were served in schoolwide programs in 

2001-02. 

MEP Participants 

Migrant children and youths participating in MEP-funded programs are counted based on 

the number of them reported in each state by the ethnicity and gender categories in 

Consolidated State Performance Reports. The participant count is unduplicated at the state 

level. However, duplication is possible at the national level because migrant students by 

definition can and do move across state lines. Because a child could be served during the 

regular term and the summer or intersession term, the unduplicated count is not based on 

term. 

In 2001-02, states served an estimated 767,472 migrant students (Exhibit 4). In 1998-99, 

approximately 682,090 migrant students were served. Thus, from 1998-99 to 2001-02 the 

unduplicated count of migrant students served increased 13 percent. 

According to term type there were 645,952 migrant students served during the regular-term 

and 403,523 served during the summer or intersession term in 2001-02. There has been a 

steady increase in the unduplicated counts of MEP participants from 1995-96 through 

2001-02.

Exhibit reads: There were 564,048 unduplicated counts of migrant students participating in MEPfunded services in 1995-96. 

States With Large Migrant Student Populations 

States that have the greatest proportion of MEP-eligible populations also tend to have the 

greatest number of migrant children and youth MEP participants. Migrant children and 

youths are concentrated in a few states around the country. California, Texas, and Florida 

accounted for 53 percent of the total regular-term migrant population and 64 percent of the 

summer- or intersession-term population in 2001-02. 

Twelve states each had more than 15,000 eligible migrant students. Exhibit 5 shows the 

states and the number of eligible migrant students along with the unduplicated counts of 

migrant students. Along with California, Texas, and Florida, Washington (5 percent) and 

Oregon (3 percent) topped the list of states with the most eligible numbers of migrant 

children.

 Exhibit reads: There are 276,140 migrant children in California according to the 12-month count of 

 children eligible for funding purposes. 

Ethnicity, Language Proficiency, and Gender of MEP-Participants 

 

The ethnicity, language proficiency, and gender of migrant children in MEP-funded 

programs are fairly predictable. The majority of MEP-funded participants were 

categorized as Hispanic. Eighty-nine percent of MEP participants are Hispanic, while 6 

percent are considered white (non-Hispanic), 2 percent are Asian or Pacific Islander, 

another 2 percent are black (non-Hispanic), and 1 percent of the MEP participant 

population is American Indian or Alaska Native (Exhibit 6). Over time, the “Hispanic” 

group has grown in relation to the other groups. For example, in 1998-99, the Hispanic 

group made up 86 percent of the MEP participant population while the “white, not 

Hispanic” group made up 8 percent. Three years later, the Hispanic group had increased 

proportionally (from 86 to 89 percent) while the white group had decreased (from 8 to 6 

percent).

 The 12-month count does not include migrant children under 3 years old and students continuing beyond 

their eligibility. However, the unduplicated count includes these children.

Exhibit 6: Ethnicity of MEP Participants (2001-02) 

Exhibit reads: Hispanic children and youths accounted for 89 percent of MEP participants. 

The group of migrant children and youths designated as having limited English proficiency 

(LEP) has also grown. In 1998-99, there were 151,513 (22 percent) migrant children 

designated LEP. In 2001-02, that figure had grown to 261,583 (34 percent). The 

population of LEP migrant students has increased in relation to the unduplicated total 

number of migrant students (Exhibit 7).

Exhibit 7: Limited English Proficiency Program Participants as a Part of the 

Unduplicated Total (1998-99 Through 2001-02) 

Exhibit reads: The percentage migrant students who have limited English proficiency increased 

from 22 percent in 1998-99 to 34 percent in 2001-02. 

While ethnicity and LEP status has changed over time, gender has remained fairly constant. 

Just over half the population is male (53 percent) and just under half is female (47 percent). 

The gender split across states is basically the same with slightly more males than females 

reflected in the MEP participant population in each state with the exceptions of Delaware; 

Washington, D.C.; North Dakota; and Rhode Island. These states have slightly more 

females than males. 

Age Group or Grade of Migrant Children 

Overall, there are more regular-term participants than summer- or intersession-term 

participants across age and grade categories. However, the increase in participation in 

summer or intersession term is greater than the increase in participation during the regular 

term. For example, in 1998-99, the overall regular-term count of students served was 

572,690, and in 2001-02, the count had increased 13 percent to 645,952. Over the same 

period, summer- or intersession-term participation increased 27 percent from 318,415 to 

403,523. So, participation in both terms is increasing with the summer or intersession term 

adding students at a faster pace than the regular term. 

Migrant children who participated in MEP-funded programs either during the regular term 

or during the summer or intersession term were most often in elementary school (in first

2001-02 is showing steady growth for young children (Birth-K), elementary (Grades 1-6) 

and secondary (Grades 7-12) school-age students; the “other” category which includes 

students not assigned to a grade level (ungraded) and out-of-school migrant youths is 

growing at a greater pace in the regular term and the summer or intersession term.

Migrant Student Participation in MEP Services 

Migrant children and youths have opportunities to receive instructional and support 

services through the Migrant Education Program during both the regular term and the 

summer or intersession term. Students received instructional services in the academic areas 

of reading or language arts, English language instruction, mathematics, social studies, 

science, and vocational or career services. They received support services in the areas of 

guidance, social work, health, and transportation as well as other support services. Many 

migrant students received services regarding literacy during the regular term. For example, 

30 percent of migrant students received reading or language arts assistance and 14 percent 

received English language instruction (Exhibit 10). A large group (19 percent) also 

received mathematics assistance. The proportions of students receiving services during the 

summer or intersession term differed from participation during the regular term. A greater 

proportion of students in summer or intersession term received reading or language arts 

instruction (60 percent). Also a greater percentage received mathematics instruction (47 

percent compared with 19 percent during the regular term). Migrant students also received 

support services during the regular and the summer or intersession terms. Of support 

services received during the regular term, 55 percent of migrant children received social 

work services and 21 percent received guidance services, while during the summer or

Priority for Services 

Migrant students can qualify as having a “priority for services” (Section 1304d) and receive 

MEP-sponsored services. They can qualify if their education has been interrupted and their 

state determines that they are failing or most at risk of failing to meet state standards. The 

number of regular-term students who are designated as “priority for services” has steadily 

increased 33 percent from 242,138 in 1998-99 to 322,703 in 2001-02 (Exhibit 12).

The summer- or intersession-term priority for services trend is similar to the one observed 

for the regular-term. 

Migrant children and youths are also allowed to receive services after their eligibility ends 

through a continuation of services provision (Section 1304e), which allows for the 

continuation of services for up to one year for children whose MEP eligibility has ended. 

In comparison to students qualifying for services under the priority for services provision 

(Section 1304d), the numbers of students qualifying for services under the continuation of 

services provision (Section1304e) are quite small. For example, in 2001-02, there were 

8,551 migrant students who were served under the continuation of services provision, 

which is about 3 percent of the students who qualified because their schooling had been 

interrupted due to mobility and were failing or at risk of failing state standards. However, 

over time, the children qualifying for a continuation of services in the regular term has 

more than doubled from 3,165 in 1998-99 to 8,551 in 2001-02. The number of summer- or 

intersession-term migrant students increased 49 percent from 1,832 in 1998-99 to 2,740 in 

2001-02. 

Staffing 

MEP provides resources to support a variety of staffing positions, both instructional and 

noninstructional. Instructional staff includes teachers, bilingual teachers, and teacher aides. 

Noninstructional staffing includes job categories from administrators to recruiters to 

clerical support staff. Full-time equivalent (FTE) units for all staffing in 2001-02 totaled 

9,422, which is a 20 percent rise from 1998-99. 

Instructional staff accounted for almost half (46 percent) of the staffing for the regular 

term. However, the proportion of instructional staff has decreased relative to 

noninstructional staff from 52 percent of all staff in 2000-01 to 46 percent in 2001-02. 

Over time, the staffing-to-student ratios have been similar. During the 2001-02 regular 

term, the staff to student ratio was 1:69, and in 1998-99, the ratio was 1:73. During the 

summer or intersession term in 2001-02, the staff to student ratio was 1:28, and in 1998-99, 

the ratio was 1:25. 
17 

Exhibit 14: MEP Staffing by Job Category (2001-02) 

Exhibit reads: Teacher aides made up 29 percent of the summer or intersession term and 26 

percent of regular-term staff total nationally. 

Summer- or intersession-term instructional staff accounted for 66 percent of the total staff 

compared with regular-term instructional staff, which accounted for 46 percent. However, 

the trend of slightly decreasing proportion of instructional staff is true for summer or 

intersession term just as it is for regular-term instructional staff, from 69 percent in 2000-01 

to 66 percent in 2001-02. Teachers accounted for the largest proportion of staff at 30 

percent during the summer or intersession term (Exhibit 14). 

MEP-Funded Project Sites 

MEP-funded projects are categorized as regular-term only, summer- or intersession-term 

only, and multiterm. Projects were much more likely to offer services during the regular 

term than the summer or intersession term. Over half (53 percent) of sites offered services 

only during the regular term, and 31 percent offered services during both regular and 

summer or intersession terms (Exhibit 15). Summer- or intersession-term only programs 

accounted for 16 percent of project sites, but this number increased (3 percent) from 13 

percent in the previous year.

Exhibit reads: Fifty-three percent of MEP-funded sites in 2001-02 were regular-term sites. 

Extended-time programs were offered in just over one-fourth (27 percent) of regular-term 

project sites. Extended-time project sites provide services to migrant children and youths 

before or after school, on weekends, or during other nonschool time. In 2001-02, 23 states 

offered regular-term extended-time project sites, which is about the same as the previous 

year, when 25 states offered them.

Achievement 

States and territories also must submit student achievement data to the Department of 

Education through the Consolidated State Performance Reports. Although student 

achievement across states and territories cannot be compared directly because states and 

territories do not all use the same assessments, achievement gaps between migrant students 

and all students can be reported by state and territory. 

Achievement Gaps in 2002-03

As exhibits 16 and 17 show, most states show an achievement gap2

 where a small 

percentage of migrant students scored proficient in third-grade school reading and 

mathematics on state assessments (than all students tested). Forty-three states and 

territories provided information regarding the elementary school reading achievement of 

migrant students on state assessments. Of those, 23 states (53 percent) showed a gap of 25 

percentage points or greater in reading proficiency scores between migrant students and all 

students. Massachusetts showed the greatest achievement gap (43 percentage points), while 

the District of Columbia exhibited the lowest. In fact, migrant students scored 3 percentage 

points above all students in the District of Columbia in elementary school reading in 2002-

03. 

Exhibit 16: Achievement Gaps in Percent Proficient Between Migrant Students and 

All Students in Third-Grade Reading on State Assessments (2002-03) 

Exhibit reads: Of states reporting achievement results for migrant students, the reading 

achievement gap in percent proficient between third-grade migrant students and all students in 20 

states and territories was less than 25 percentage points.

 See Exhibit 50 in the appendix for achievement information by state. 
20 

In general, migrant students scored lower on mathematics assessments than all students on 

state assessments. Forty-four out of 52 states or territories provided elementary school 

mathematics achievement information for both migrant students and all students. The 

achievement gap between the percentage of all students and migrant students achieving 

proficiency in 12 states was 25 percentage points or greater. Wisconsin, with a gap of 39 

percentage points, showed the greatest gap in elementary school mathematics achievement 

between migrant students and students. Migrant students in Mississippi scored 3 

percentage points higher than all students in the state in elementary school math. 

Exhibit 17: Achievement Gaps in Percent Proficient Between Migrant Students and 

All Students in Third-Grade Mathematics on State Assessments (2002-03) 

Exhibit reads: Of states reporting achievement results for migrant students, the mathematics 

achievement gap in percent proficient between third-grade migrant students and all schools in 32 

states was less than 25 percentage points. 

In 2002-03, forty-two states or territories reported information in tenth-grade reading and 

41 states or territories on tenth-grade mathematics data on state assessments. As exhibits 

18 and 19 show, gaps in the percent proficient in tenth-grade reading and mathematics 

vary. Migrant students in the District of Columbia and Mississippi scored 10 and 3 

percentage points higher in percent proficiency, respectively, on tenth-grade reading 

achievement than all students in the state, while Iowa showed the largest gap of 51 

percentage points between migrant students (26 percent) and all students (77 percent). 

Migrant students in Mississippi and Tennessee scored 19 and 17 percentage points higher 

in proficiency, respectively, in tenth-grade mathematics than all students in those states. 

Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin each showed a 42-percentage point difference 

between migrant students and all students in secondary school mathematics. 
21 

Migrant students performed better on mathematics assessments than reading assessments. 

More states had achievement gaps over 25 percentage points between the percentage of all 

students and migrant students achieving proficiency in third-grade and tenth-grade reading 

versus math (24 versus 12 for third grade and 27 versus 19 for tenth grade). This is not 

surprising considering the number of English language learners that make up the migrant 

student population.

All Students in Tenth-Grade Reading on State Assessments (2002-03)

reading achievement gap in percent proficient between tenth-grade migrant students and all 

students in 17 states or territories was less than 25 percentage points.

State Summary 

Alabama has less than 1 percent of all eligible and 

participating migrant children for at least part of the 

year. While 89 percent of migrants are Hispanic 

nationally, Alabama has a variety of ethnic groups 

represented. Alabama’s Hispanic migrant student 

population is 41 percent. The white (30 percent) and 

black (25 percent) students make up more than half of 

the state’s migrant student population. 

A higher percentage of Alabama students participate in 

instructional services than the national average. Threefourths of migrant children in MEP participate in reading 

or language arts (78 percent) and limited English 

proficiency (78 percent) services during the regular-term 

in Alabama. This compares with 30 percent and 14 

percent at the national level, respectively.

State Summary 

Delaware’s eligible and participating migrant children 

population is very small (less than 1 percent) when 

compared to the total number of eligible migrant 

children in the United States. More children are enrolled 

in birth-K programs (48 percent) and in grades 1 through 

6 (52 percent) in the regular term, compared with the 

national averages of 19 percent (birth through 

kindergarten) and 43 percent (first through sixth grades). 

All migrant children received only limited English 

programs during the regular term. However, a larger 

portion of instructional and support services were 

provided during the summer or intersession term. All 

students in the summer term received social work type 

services, medical services, and transportation.

State Summary 

Iowa’s migrant student population makes up less than 

1 percent of the national total. The number of white 

migrant students was a little more than double the 

national average 14 percent versus 6 percent, and the 

number of students of Hispanic origin was 7 

percentage points less than the national average of 89 

percent. 

During the regular-term, Iowa served a greater 

percentage of elementary school age students (54 

percent) than the national average (43 percent) and a 

much smaller percentage of other (out-of-school and 

ungraded) (1 percent) students than the nation as a 

whole (9 percent). During the summer or intersession 

term, a greater proportion of elementary school age 

migrant students (65 percent) were served than were 

served nationally (46 percent).

State Summary 

The migrant children and youths in Kansas account 

for a little more than 2 percent of the eligible migrant 

children in the United States. Of participating summer 

or intersession students, more than half of them were 

in the elementary grades. Thirty-three percent of 

regular-term migrant students were in grades 1-6, 23 

percent in grades 7-12, and 28 percent in another 

group (other). At 28 percent, the other category 

(students in out-of-school or ungraded programs) was 

proportionally much greater than the national average 

(9 percent). 

Twenty-eight percent of the migrant students received 

reading and language arts services, and 17 percent 

attended ESL classes during the regular term. Half of 

summer or intersession migrant students versus 60 

percent nationally received reading or language arts 

services.

State Summary 

Maine has just over 1 percent of all eligible migrant 

children for at least part of the year. The percentage 

(7 percent) of very young migrant children (birth
