\1\Includes special education, vocational/technical education, and alternative schools. Excludes prekindergarten enrollment.
\2\The estimates for 1997-98 were computed using a different procedure from that used in previous years.
\3\NCES employed an area frame sample to account for noninclusion of schools at the national level. However, caution should be exercised in interpreting state by state characteristics since the samples were not designed to produce such numbers.
\4\Insufficient data to compute a standard error.

NOTE: Tabulation includes only schools that offer first grade or above.
