Section III: Migrant Student Profile For the purposes of this report, the CDE included an abridged version of the Migrant Student Profile. The Migrant Student Profile was designed to assist stakeholders in understanding the demographic characteristics and unique educational needs of California’s MEP-eligible children. It provides awareness of migratory children’s population size, age, home language, and educational outcomes. It also explores characteristics of California’s migratory OSY population, and migratory children’s school readiness, parent involvement, health service needs, and engagement in school. Stakeholders utilized this profile as they identified migratory student needs. The CNA briefly reviews student achievement data, English language proficiency, high school graduation and dropout rates as well as OSY demographics and MEP health service data. For more information on parent and family engagement, student engagement and school readiness, please see the complete Migrant Student Profile. Demographics Population Size and Trends In 2014–15, California identified 102,348 migratory children, a decrease of nearly 36 percent compared to the numbers identified in 2010–11. This downward trend is consistent across all age groups of migratory children, with the largest population declines among OSY ages 19 to 21 years. Figure 3 shows the downward trend in migratory children population size, by age group between 2010–11 and 2014–15. Table 2 details changes in the migratory child population size by age over the five-year period. Figure 3.
