ENROLLMENT

Definition

This section summarizes the number and

percentage of students enrolled in the District by

ethnic group. Subsequent charts show similar figures

for high school, middle school and elementary

school students separately. Six years of data are

shown and eighteen years of data are graphed.

Enrollment figures used in this report are from

the first week in October of each year. The October

1 enrollment count has traditionally served as theDistrict enrollment baseline. By October 1, most

students have arrived at school and start of school

year transfers between schools have stabilized. It

also corresponds to the annual enrollment report to

the Office of the Superintendent of Public

Instruction (OSPI) showing the ethnic breakdown of

schools (Form P105). Yearly enrollment projections,

used for funding, are also based, in part, on the

October 1 count.

The enrollment figures used in this report arehead counts of all students in grades Kindergarten

to 12 reported to OSPI. Headstart and preschool

students are not counted here. Running Start

students, part-time students and half-day

kindergarten students are counted the same as other

students.

Results

The overall October 1 enrollment for 2009-2010

was 45,944, an increase of 372 students from the

2008-2009 school year. The Seattle Public Schools

were 44 percent White and 56 percent non-White on

October 1, 2008.

Total high school enrollment decreased by 324

students between 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. The

Latino ethnic group has continually grown as a

percent of total high school enrollment since 1991-1992. Middle school enrollment decreased by 28

students in 2009-2010 from the previous October to

its lowest level in the six years shown. The Latino

ethnic group fell for the third straight year since

2006-2007 as a percentage of total middle school

enrollment while White ethnic group enrollment has

risen during the same time period. Elementary

school enrollment increased by 585 students from

2008-2009 to 2009-2010, the third straight increase

in elementary enrollment since 1998-1999. At the

elementary level, the number of White students inelementary schools had been gradually declining

until 2003-2004, but since that time has been rising

in both number and percentage of elementary

enrollment. The number and percentage of African

American and Asian elementary students enrolled in

Seattle Public Schools has been nearly similar since

1992-1993.

living with mother, father, guardian, agency, alone,

or married. For this report, all living situations other

than Living with both parents are combined. Data

are taken from the same October 1 computer files asare enrollment data. Students without a valid code

for living situation are considered not living with

both parents in these charts.

lunches increased in 2009-2010 for the third time in

ten years by rising 104 students from 2008-2009, but

declined again as a percentage of enrollment one-

half of a percentage point to 39.2%. The number of

elementary students receiving free or reduced-pricelunches rose for the American Indian, African

American and White ethnic groups in 2009-2010.

However, a drop of 88 Latino elementary students

eligible for free or reduced-price lunches and

increased elementary school enrollment in 2009-

2010 were responsible for the 0.5 percentage point

decline in the rate from the 2008-2009 school year.

BILINGUAL STUDENTS

Definition

During registration for Seattle Public Schools, each

students primary and home languages are determined,

and an assessment of the students English fluency

compared to their primary language is conducted. When

a parent indicates that the student understands or speaks

the primary language more fluently than or equally

fluent to the English language, the student is given the

Washington Language Proficiency Test, 2nd edition

(WLPT II) to determine English fluency. The result of

this assessment determines whether the student is oflimited English proficiency or equal English proficiency.

The Bilingual Education Office maintains these data to

help determine whether or not students with limited

English proficiency are then eligible to receive bilingual

services. These eligibility data are updated annually with

information obtained through standardized test results

using the WLPT II administered each Spring to each

student eligible for bilingual services, regardless of

whether or not the student has been receiving bilingual

services. The information presented here is taken from

June computer files instead of October computer files inorder to maintain compatibility with previous years

when eligibility codes were not updated until the middle

of the school year.

Bilingual data is presented for the entire District,

showing the numbers and percentages of students who

have Limited English Proficiency or Equal English

Proficiency. Unlike previous years, starting this year the

Limited English Proficiency students are reported

separately from the Equal English Proficiency students.

Numeric data are shown for the past six years whilecharts show the last eighteen years of data. No separate

high school, middle school or elementary school tables

are given.

Results

The majority of both Limited English and Equal

English students are predominantly Asian, followed

by Latino and other groups. In June 2009, the Seattle

Public Schools had 10,893 students (24.5 percent of

the total District enrollment) with limited or equal

English proficiency. Of these, 5,514 (12.4 percent of

the District) are Limited English Proficient students.

The total number and percentage of Limited English

Proficient students rose by only 10 students from

2007-2008 to 2008-2009. The number andpercentage of Equal English-speaking students rose

by 276 students to 12.1% of the District population

from 2007-2008 to 2008-2009.

SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

Definition

The Special Education office gathers and

maintains Special Education data on central

computer data files. When a student is referred to

Special Education, a record is created indicating that

this student has needs that are a focus of concern.

After assessment, if the student is found to be

eligible for Special Education services, the Special

Education staff develops an Individual Educational

Plan (IEP) for the student. This plan forms the basis

for most Special Education data collection. Thedisability codes and data from the IEP are entered

into the computer file, and the file is updated

continuously as students progress through Special

Education programs and are reassessed. Special

Education enrollment counts, which include

preschool handicapped students, are reported

monthly to the State.

The data summarized here are based on June

2008 Special Education enrollment counts from

preschool through 12th grade. The Districtenrollment figures used for percentages are taken

from June files, but differ from the June enrollment

used for other purposes in that preschool students are

also included in the total Special Education count in

the following tables and charts.

The first table, showing the number and percent

of students in all Special Education categories, is

presented in two parts. The first column in Part 1

shows the total number and percentage of students in

each ethnic group who are in Special Educationprograms. The remaining columns in Part 1 and all

columns in Part 2 provide a similar breakdown for

each disability category.

The second set of tables and graphs shows

changes over time in the total number and

percentage of Special Education students and in the

main subcategory of Specific Learning Disabilitystudents. Specific Learning Disabled (SLD) children

display a severe discrepancy between their actual

performance and expected performance based on

intelligence. These children experience difficulties in

reading, writing, mathematics, or spoken and written

language.

Results

Overall, 14.4 percent of the students in theDistrict were enrolled in Special Education in June

2009. Within ethnic groups, Special Education

students range from 23.6% of all American Indian

students to 8.9% of all Asian students. The total

number of Specific Learning Disability students rose

slightly between June 2008 and June 2009 and rose

0.1 percent of total enrollment, ending six years of

declining percentages in this category since June

2002. The number of students identified as Specific

Learning Disabled ranges from 9.0% of all

American Indian students to 3.3% of all Asianstudents. The other predominant categories are

Health Impaired, Developmentally Delayed

(Preschool), Communication Disordered, and

Emotional Behavioral Disability (previously titled as

Seriously Behaviorally Disabled). A dispro-

portionately larger number of African American

(and, as a percentage of enrollment, American

Indian) students are represented in these categories.

According to the trend data across the major

categories, American Indian students have exceededAfrican American students with the highest rate of

eligibility for Special Education programs since

1995-1996. The Latino ethnic group slightly exceeds

the White ethnic group on intermediate rates of

eligibility. Asian students continue to show lower

rates of eligibility.
