1 Beginning in 1994, preprimary enrollment was collected using new procedures and may not be comparable to figures for earlier years.  
2 Beginning in 2010, standard errors were computed using replicate weights, which produced more precise values than the methodology used in prior years. For more information, see Appendix A: Guide to Sources.
