Student National Origin Report (SNOR)
The SNOR is used by California Department of Education (CDE) to collect the results of the annual count of eligible immigrant students. There is a companion document to the SNOR entitled Directory of National Origin Names & Country Codes. The directory contains a list of immigrant-sending countries and corresponding country codes. The directory also contains a list of United States possessions and trust territories.
LEAs and private schools have two choices regarding the timeframe to conduct the count of eligible immigrant students. LEAs and private schools may conduct the count on October 3, 2007, or February 29, 2008, or both. Between March 1 and April 1, 2008, LEAs and private schools will submit the SNOR online using the count from the October or February date, whichever is greater. LEAs should submit a single SNOR with aggregated data from of all the public schools located within their jurisdiction.
For the first time, local educational agencies (LEAs) and private schools will complete the SNOR online. The process has been designed to be very user friendly and should only take a short amount of time to complete.

Immigrant Student Demographic Data
As a result of the administration of the SNOR, the CDE collects and analyzes a variety of data on immigrant students. Types of data available include:
- Enrollments of immigrant students by local educational agency (LEA)
- Enrollments of immigrants by country of origin
- Ranking of LEAs by immigrant enrollments
- Ranking of counties by immigrant enrollments
- Statewide immigrant enrollments and related funding
Note that the immigrant enrollment data include only those immigrant students who have enrolled in a U.S. school within the last three school years, immigrant students who have been enrolled for longer than three years are not included in the data. Additionally, most but not all LEAs file the SNOR with the CDE.
Data may be accessed by visiting Immigrant Student Demographics.
