\1\Excludes combined elementary/secondary schools because of small sample size. \2\Excludes schools with missing data for free and reduced price lunch participation. \3\This estimate fell between 99.5 percent and 100.0 percent and therefore was rounded to 100 percent. \4\Includes computers used for instructional or administrative purposes. \5\Includes all classrooms, computer labs, and library/media centers. NOTE: Data are derived from sample surveys and are subject to sampling error. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding of weighted estimates. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
