† Not applicable. District level student membership is counted at the district that provides financial support for the student, and not where the student is enrolled or receives educational services. Therefore, it is possible to have operational school districts that have not applicable enrollment because the students enrolled in the district are paid for by another district. | ||||||||||
NOTE: Data include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, four outlying areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), the Bureau of Indian Education, and the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas and domestic). Not included in this table are local supervisory unions, regional education service agencies, and state and federally operated agencies. For analytical purposes, New York City Public Schools, New York, is treated as a regular school district. The number of regular districts presented in this table differs from that presented in table 1, which represents all districts. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. | ||||||||||
