The Migrant Education Program gives priority for services to migrant children, who are failing, or most at risk for failing; and whose education has been interrupted during the regular school year. To determine which students are most at risk of failing, Migrant Education Program staff relies on a variety of factors, including local academic assessment data and the degree to which the child is subject to multiple risk factors (i.e. being retained in grade or overage for grade, limited English proficient, etc.).
