NOTE: DoD = Department of Defense. The total ungraded counts of students were prorated to the elementary level (prekindergarten through grade 8) and the secondary level (grades 9 through 12) based on prior reports. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Some data have been revised from previously published figures.
