- In 2013, 195 of 286 eligible LEAs (68 percent) in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah received no Title VII funding, leaving an estimated 18 percent of AI/AN students in the three states unserved — related
- Students who began as English Learners graduated from high school at a slightly higher rate than never-classified EL students and enrolled in college at about the same rate, with more two-year enrollment — related
