\1\Only includes kindergarten students who attend schools that offer first grade or above.

\2\Tuition weighted by the number of students enrolled in schools.

\3\Too few sample cases (fewer than 30 schools) for reliable estimates.

---Data not applicable.

NOTE.--Data are based upon a sample survey and may not be strictly comparable with data reported elsewhere. Elementary schools have grade 6 or lower and no grade higher than 8. Secondary schools have no grade lower than 7. Combined schools have grades lower than 7 and higher than 8. Excludes prekindergarten students. Because of rounding and missing values in cells with too few sample cases, details may not add to totals.
