NOTE: Data reflect racial/ethnic data reported by schools. Because some schools do not report complete racial/ethnic data, totals may differ from figures in other tables. Excludes 1995 data for Idaho and 2001 data for Tennessee because racial/ethnic data were not reported. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding.
