| NOTE: This table uses a different data source than tables A-SDE-2 and A-SDE-3; therefore, estimates for 2010 are not directly comparable to the estimates in tables A-SDE-2 and A-SDE-3. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For more information on race/ethnicity and the status dropout rate, see Appendix C – Commonly Used Measures. For more information on the Current Population Survey (CPS), see Appendix B – Guide to Sources. |
