| NOTE: Mean absolute percentage error is the average value over past projections of the absolute values of errors expressed in percentage terms. MAPEs for public PK–12 enrollments were calculated using the last 26 editions of Projections of Education Statistics. MAPEs for private PK-12 enrollments high school graduates were calculated from the past 8 editions. Calculations were made using unrounded numbers. Some data have been revised from previously published numbers. | ||||||||||
