—Not available.

1 Data for California for 1989-90 and earlier years are not strictly comparable with those for other states because California's attendance figures included excused absences.

2 Excludes average daily attendance for regional occupational programs and summer school programs that were reported in prior years.

NOTE: Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
