The three largest districts, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, have seen a 1% increase in enrollment of students with LEP over the last three years. This Western and Central NY enrollment trend mirrors the New York State and US data described on the National Clearinghouse for English Language Acquisition (NCELA) web site, a depository of data that supports the US Department of Education.
