¹The District of Columbia student/teacher ratio does not include the 6,943 charter school students for which no teachers were reported.

²Data imputed based on current-year (fall 2001) data.

³Data disaggregated from reported total.

⁴Total teachers in each state may not add to detail due to rounding, missing detail (Wyoming), or duplicate reporting in the detail (Wisconsin).

NOTE: Teacher counts are full-time-equivalent (FTE) counts. Elementary and secondary teacher counts are not directly comparable across states due to differences in the grades included in these designations.
