# The estimate rounds to zero.
1 Students with disabilities.
2 Limited-English-proficient students.
NOTE: Data were not collected at grade 8 in 2000. Within each grade level, the combined SD/LEP portion of the table is not a sum of the separate SD and LEP portions because some students were identified as both SD and LEP. Such students would be counted separately in the bottom portions but counted only once in the top portion.
Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
