| 1 Includes private nursery and prekindergarten enrollment in schools that offer kindergarten or higher grades. |
| 2 Private school numbers are estimated based on data from the Private School Universe Survey. |
| NOTE: Some data have been revised from previously published figures. For private schools, it was assumed that numbers for elementary are the same as those in table 1 for grades PK–8, and numbers for secondary are the same as those in table 1 for grades 9–12. Designation of grades as elementary or secondary varies from school to school. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Mean absolute percentage errors of selected education statistics can be found in table A2, appendix A. |
