Migrant Education Program (MEP) National Profile for Performance Period 2021-2022
The Migrant Education Program (MEP) National Profile for Performance Period 2021-2022 shows data reported in the Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX), the nationwide electronic records exchange system under Title I, Part C, of the ESEA, as amended. The intended audience of the National Profile is the Office of Migrant Education’s (OME) grantees. It provides a snapshot of key information used to inform the decision-making about the National MEP.
The MEP’s national goal is to:
- Assist States in supporting high-quality and comprehensive educational programs and services during the school year and, as applicable, during the summer or intersession periods that address the unique educational needs of migratory children.
- Ensure that migratory children who move among the States are not penalized in any manner by disparities among the States in curriculum, graduation requirements, and State academic content and student academic achievement standards.
- Ensure that migratory children receive full and appropriate opportunities to meet the same challenging State academic standards that all children are expected to meet.
- Help migratory children overcome educational disruption, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, various health-related problems, and other factors that inhibit the ability of such children to succeed in school.
- Help migratory children benefit from State and local systemic reforms. (Section 1301 of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA), as amended)
Select indicators from the report are included below. Several additional indicators as well as the methodology behind each is available in the full report download.
National Child Counts for National Profile
The table shows the National unduplicated count of eligible migratory children age birth through 21 as determined on 12/24/2022. It should be noted that due to the difference in logic used to determine inclusion and eligibility, the count of eligible migratory children will not be equal to the sum of the Category 1 and Age Birth through 2 children.
| Eligible Migratory Children Age Birth Through 21 |

| 267,594 |

Children with Qualifying Arrival Dates (QADs) During the Performance Period (Table 5a)
Below shows an unduplicated count of children by State who made an interstate or intrastate move that generated a QAD in the performance period as reported by either the Move To or Move From State. Regardless of the amount of moves a child made within a State, the child will only be counted once per State. When a State reports a move where they are not the Move To or Move From State, the QAD is not counted in this table.
