| 1 Socioeconomic status (SES) was measured by a composite score on parental education and occupations, and family income in 2002. The "low" SES group is the lowest quartile; the "middle" SES group is the middle two quartiles; and the "high" SES group is the upper quartile. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 Reading and math achievement quartiles reflect students' scores on assessments conducted in 2002. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| NOTE: Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and survey item nonresponse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
