Demographics

Prior to 2015 about half of its 20-25 English as a second language program students were of Hispanic origin. By 2015 a large number of students from the Democratic Republic of the Congo appeared in Kirksville, doubling the number of ESOL students and giving it a French-speaking population not previously present. Therefore, the district began expanding its ESOL program.{{cite web|author=Brown, Danielle|url=http://www.kirksvilledailyexpress.com/article/20151212/NEWS/151219704|title=Kirksville R-III adapts in order to better integrate Congolese students|publisher=Kirksville Daily Express|page=[http://www.kirksvilledailyexpress.com/article/20151212/NEWS/151219704 1]|date=2015-12-14|accessdate=2016-08-16}}
