Elk Grove High School has a diverse student population representing over 38 different language groups. Our English learners represent 29% (approx. 566 students) of the school’s total population. 

The English Learner (EL) Program engages every EL student in high quality instruction, assessment, and research-based best practice. We strive to develop students’ linguistic needs in reading, writing, speaking and listening while also meeting their academic and social emotional needs.
