Sacramento County 2013-2014
Demographic Summary:
English Learners
Superintendent’s Message
The 1940 US Census data documented that
approximately 240,000 people lived in the Sacramento
region 74 years ago (US Census, 2012). Today,
Sacramento County’s kindergarten through grade 12
student population of 240,216 is just slightly more than
the entire regional population in 1940.
The school population in Sacramento County has
continued to exemplify richness in diversity since
Time magazine declared Sacramento as “America’s
most integrated city” in 2002. The 2013 update from
the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey
documented that a language other than English is spoken
by 31.6% of Sacramento County’s residents aged five
years and older. The families in our community who speak
a language other than English at home send over 76,000
students to our schools.
This report features information on various topics regarding
the 18% of all students attending Sacramento County schools
who are in the process of learning English as a new language.
Although more than half of the English learners speak Spanish
as their first language, this population as a whole is linguistically
diverse, with the 42,456 students coming from over 55 language
groups.
This document summarizes information certified by districts
during the 2013-14 school year. It is organized into two sections.
First, information about English learners at the county-wide level is
presented. Subsequently, profiles for each of the thirteen districts
within Sacramento County can be found. The data were compiled from
information submitted by local districts to the California Department of
Education (CDE) on Census Day via the California Longitudinal Pupil
Achievement Data System (CALPADS) Fall 1 report and the results
from the California English Language Development Test (CELDT)
administered in the fall of 2013.
We are pleased to publish this report again this year. It continues to
serve as a resource for educators and other interested members of
the community. It is important to be aware of the composition of our
student population as we work together to close the achievement gap,
and ensure that our English learners achieve academic success and
become proficient in the English language.

English
Learners
English learners (EL), also known as limited-Englishproficient (LEP) pupils, are students for whom a
primary language other than English is reported

English language skills of listening comprehension,
speaking, reading, and writing necessary to succeed
in the school’s regular instructional programs.

Pursuant to Education Code
Section 313(d), the State
Board of Education established
four reclassification criteria
for school districts to use in
redesignating students from
the English learner to fluentEnglish-proficient category.
The four criteria are:
1. Assessment of Englishlanguage proficiency on the
CELDT
2. Teacher evaluation of
a student’s academic
performance (report card
grades, GPA, or other
measure)
3. Parent opinion and
consultation
4. Comparison of performance
in basic skills (CST in
English-language arts).

EL Students Redesignated to FEP
The annual Language Census reports the number and percentage of
students redesignated from English learner to fluent-English-proficient
(FEP) status since the last census.
Data presented in this document were reported by districts to the California Department of Education.
Sacramento County
Numbers and Percentages
The percentage is calculated by dividing the number of redesignated
students by the prior year’s EL count then multiplying by 100.
On the 2013-2014 Language Census, 5,227 students were redesignated
in Sacramento County according to the locally-adopted multiple
criteria, standards, and procedures that demonstrate that the students
have an English-language proficiency comparable to that of average
native English speakers. The State Board of Education set statewide
performance criteria for the California Standards Tests (CST) and the
California English Language Development Test (CELDT) to be used for
making redesignation decisions.
