The top layer of this map shows the percentage of students in each neighborhood school who are identified as needing bilingual education services, using data from Chicago Public Schools. The darkest blue areas are those with the greatest number of bilingual education students.
Fainter lines and colors on the bottom layer of this map show data on Census tracts from the 2007-2011 American Community Survey, with the yellowest tracts the ones where the highest number of residents speak languages other than English. Blue-green areas show a larger number of students identified as bilingual in an area with fewer bilingual residents, and yellow-green areas are those with fewer bilingual students but more bilingual residents -- potentially showing differences in school-level practices of identifying and tracking bilingual students. The maps below show each layer separately.
