This marks the first observed post-pandemic decrease in ELL <br /> headcounts, a trend that may reflect anticipated impacts from changes in federal immigration policy. While <br /> international migration sharply decreased during the pandemic due to travel restrictions and limited job availability, it <br /> subsequently rebounded. <br /> Headcount of English Language Learners: 2016-17 through 2025-26 <br /> 1,621 <br /> 1,415 1,454 1,496 1,462 1,413 <br /> 1,314 1,277 1,311 1,349 <br /> 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26 <br /> Data Source:Headcount of Limited English Proficient Students, <br /> Report to the North Carolina General Assembly,NC DPI <br /> C A R O L I N A �I T CAROLINA i Demographic 20 <br /> DEMOGR PHY lJJNC <br /> POPULATION CENTER Analytics Advisors <br />
