About the MELL County Data

The 2009 High School County Maps reflect data submitted by high schools on the 2009 MELL Survey. Note that some schools on the master list of high schools obtained from OSPI did not respond to email or phone requests to complete the survey. Schools that could not be reached were excluded from the dataset (hence 100% of high schools on our list submitted the survey).
