| 2 Noninstitutionalized group quarters include college and university housing, military quarters, facilities for workers and religious groups, and temporary shelters for the homeless.

| NOTE: This table uses a different data source than table A-SDE-1; therefore, total status dropout rate estimates are not directly comparable to the 2010 estimates in table A-SDE-1. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. For more information on race/ethnicity, region and the status dropout rate, see Appendix C – Commonly Used Measures. For more information on the ACS, see Appendix B – Guide to Sources. | ||||||||||
