Demographics

edit

Prior to 2015 about half of its 20-25 English as a second language program students were of Hispanic origin. By 2015 a large number of students from the Democratic Republic of the Congo appeared in Kirksville, doubling the number of ESOL students and giving it a French-speaking population not previously present. Therefore, the district began expanding its ESOL program.[3]
