| 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); 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. |
