| 1 Based on students regularly enrolled in the districts. Enrollments may include duplicated counts of students, since districts were instructed to count a student enrolled in multiple courses for each course in which he or she was enrolled. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 Combined or ungraded schools are those in which the grades offered in the school span both elementary and secondary grades or that are not divided into grade levels. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Percentages are based on unrounded numbers. Percentages are based on the estimated 89,310 and 89,610 public schools in the nation in 2002–03 and 2004-05, respectively. For the 2002–03 FRSS study sample, there were 3 cases for which district enrollment size was missing and 112 cases for which poverty concentration was missing. For the 2004–05 FRSS study sample, there were 7 cases for which district enrollment size was missing and 103 cases for which poverty concentration was missing. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding or missing data. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Standard errors appear in parentheses. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
