—Not available.

1 Data on students of two or more races were not reported by all states; therefore, the data are not comparable to figures for 2010-11 and later years.

2 Projected.

NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Prior to 2007-08, data on students of two or more races were not collected separately. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
