\1\Private elementary and secondary education data are projected. \2\Includes enrollments in local public school systems and in most private schools (religiously affiliated and nonsectarian). Excludes home-schooled children who were not also enrolled in public and private schools. Based on the National Household Education Survey, the home-schooled children numbered approximately 1.1 million in 2003. Private elementary enrollment includes preprimary students in schools offering first or higher grades. \3\Estimated. \4\Beginning in 1996-97, data are for degree-granting institutions. All other years are for institutions of higher education. \5\Actual data. NOTE: Degree-granting enrollment projections are based on the middle alternative projections published by the National Center for Education Statistics. Data for degree-granting institutions for 1999 were imputed using alternative procedures. (See Guide to Sources for details.) Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
