# Rounds to zero.

! Interpret data with caution. The standard error for this estimate is equal to 50 percent or more of the estimate's value.

¹ The percent of schools in this column exceeds the sum of the previous two columns because it also includes schools in which the sum of students attending a 4- or 2-year college exceeds 50 percent.

NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
