\1\Excludes prekindergarten enrollment.
\2\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.
\3\Insufficient data to compute a standard error.

NOTE: Includes special education, vocational/technical education, and alternative schools. Standard errors for states are root mean squared errors to correct for bias in model based estimates for all years except for 1991-92. Tabulation includes only schools that offer first or higher grade. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
