1 2-credit occupational concentrators are defined as graduates who earned
2.0 or more credits in any one of the 11 occupational areas listed in this table.
Nonconcentrators are those public high school graduates who do not meet this definition.
2 3-credit occupational concentrators are defined as graduates who earned 3.0 or more credits in any one of the 11 occupational areas listed in this table. Nonconcentrators are those public high school graduates who do not meet this definition. NOTE: This table shows, for example, that among public high school graduates from the class of 2005 who were 2-credit occupational concentrators in agriculture and natural resources, 31.8 percent completed no mathematics above the algebra level in grade 9 (including no courses at all). Detail may not sum to total because of rounding.
