NOTE: Data reflect racial/ethnic data reported by schools. Because some schools do not report complete racial/ethnic data, totals may differ from figures in other tables. Excludes 1998 data for Idaho and 2003 data for Tennessee because racial/ethnic data were not reported. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
