1Total of reporting states; does not include Massachusetts or Tennessee.

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. U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia. If all schools were ranked by student/teacher ratio from smallest to largest, half of the schools would fall below the median. For example, half of the primary schools in Alabama had a student/teacher ratio of less than 14.8.

#Rounds to zero.

1Reporting states totals exclude states for which data were missing for 20 percent or more of the schools or districts.

2Migrant students include those who were enrolled at any time during the previous (2000–01) regular school year. They are reported for each school in which they enrolled; because this is a duplicated count, the table does not show migrants as a percentage of all students.

3American Samoa did not report students eligible for reduced-price meals.

4Data were missing for more than 20 percent of schools or districts.

NOTE: IEP stands for Individualized Education Program. ELL stands for English Language Learner. Some data items were more likely to be missing from charter schools than from other schools. Free lunch data were missing for 625 of 2,348 charter schools, and migrant student data were missing for 682. Data on ELL students were missing for 110 of the total 989 charter school districts. Percentages are based on schools and agencies reporting. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
