| 1In the 2008–09 school year, five states reported high school graduate counts for graduates of two or more races. These high school graduate counts were proportioned across the other racial/ethnic categories. When more complete sets of data for high school graduates of two or more races are compiled, separate projections for that category will be presented. |

| NOTE: Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. The historical racial/ethnic time-series were constructed using racial/ethnic high school graduate data at the state level. In some instances, high school graduate data by race/ethnicity had to be imputed. Further, in some instances, the racial/ethnic data had to be adjusted in order for them to sum to the state total for high school graduates. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. For additional information see the High School Graduates section A.2 in appendix A. Mean absolute percentage errors of selected education statistics can be found in table A-2, appendix A. | |||||||
