NOTE: Table excludes 2,753 schools (21 of these in outlying areas) for which no students were reported in membership. U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Although type of school is a mutually exclusive category, many regular schools include special, vocational, or alternative education programs. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Total student membership is reported from the "State Nonfiscal Survey of Public Elementary/Secondary Education."

NOTE: Instructional levels are primary (low grade prekindergarten to 3, high grade up to 8); middle (low grade 4 to 7, high grade 4 to 9); high (low grade 7 to 12, high grade 12 only); and other (any configuration not falling within the previous three, including ungraded schools). For states that did not provide a grade span, grade span was determined by the highest and lowest grades in which students were reported. Table excludes 2,753 schools (21 in outlying areas) for which no students were reported in membership. U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.

1Table includes 26 Department of Defense and 24 Bureau of Indian Affairs school districts that are technically federally operated agencies; this is in order to report data for these agencies in the table.

NOTE: For states that did not provide a grade span, grade span was determined by the highest and lowest grades served among all schools associated with the district. "Other" includes all grade configurations not reported in the specified categories and includes ungraded districts. Table excludes 330 regular school districts for which no students were reported in membership. U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
