| ! Interpret data with caution. ‡ Reporting standards not met. 1 Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. NOTE: “On school property” was not defined for survey respondents. The term “anywhere” was not used in the YRBS questionnaire; students were simply asked on how many days they carried a weapon during the past 30 days. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
