! Interpret data with caution. The standard error for this estimate is 30–50 percent of the estimate's value.
‡ Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater.
1 Students of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity are included in the "Hispanic or Latino" category regardless of race and are not included in the race categories. “Black” includes African American.
2 The School Crime Supplement sample includes students ages 12–18 and, therefore, might not be representative of students in 6th grade, who are commonly 11–12 years old. Comparisons between students in 6th grade and those in other grades should be made with caution.
3 Income categories presented here approximate the income categories reported by Census. The median household income in 2021 was $70,784 (Current Population Survey, 2021 and 2022 Annual Social and Economic Supplement [CPS ASEC], https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/2022/comm/median-household-income.html)
4 Total for private schools includes Catholic schools, other religious schools, nonsectarian schools, and schools with no religious affiliation data reported.
5 The School Crime Supplement sample includes students ages 12–18 who were enrolled in grades 6–12. Elementary schools are predominantly composed of students in grades K-5. Therefore, comparisons between elementary and other school levels should be made with caution. The “Secondary or High” level combines the “Secondary” and “High” school levels as defined in the 2020–21 Common Core of Data (CCD; NCES, 2022), which together are predominantly composed of students in grades 9–12. School level is based on student-reported data when student-reported school could not be matched to the 2020–21 CCD.
6 Students of color include those who are American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and of two or more races.
7 Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility are only available for public schools.
NOTE: Data include only students who reported being enrolled in grades 6–12 and not receiving any of their education through homeschooling during the school year. Data on school characteristics were not available for 9.0 percent of all students who did not match to a school in the CCD or the Private School Universe Survey (PSS) data.
